Advisement for the minor is available from the Accounting and Legal Studies Department.
The accounting minor is open to any non-accounting major. The program is designed for students seeking a solid accounting foundation to pursue careers in organizations large or small where skills in accounting and budget administration are important.
The general track fulfills some course requirements set by the Maryland State Board of Public Accountancy to sit for the CPA exam and set by the Institute of Management Accountants to sit for the CMA exam.

In addition to a minor in accounting, students completing the fraud track also earn the fraud certificate.
