Each student takes courses in management, marketing, finance, business law and management information systems. The field experience requirement gives students the opportunity for “hands-on” experience applying what has been learned in the classroom to real business situations. Students frequently receive job offers through these internships. Credits for work/life experience can also be earned by students who have had appropriate previous experience in related areas.

Medaille’s dual degree in Accounting prepares students for successful careers in public or private accounting and business. By combining a four-year undergraduate bachelor’s degree with an additional year of graduate courses, students will meet New York State Education Department requirements to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exams.
This is an introduction to the principles of accounting with emphasis on preparation of general purpose financial statements. This includes service organizations and merchandisers. An in-depth coverage of corporate securities, income tax and cash flow is included. Other topics reviewed include the accounting cycle-journal entry preparation and posting and elements of the balance sheet. Finally, financial statements will be analyzed through various analytical procedures. Computer applications included. A lab will be required of all students for problem solving, discussion and any questions.
