Accounting

A classroom of students look to professor during lecture

The undergraduate accounting program at Case Western Reserve University is among the finest in the country. Our students graduate as market-ready professionals, with strong analytical and communication skills. 

We offer both a B.S. and a Minor in Accounting. Some students choose to continue their accounting studies by enrolling in the B.S. in Accounting (B.S.) / Master in Accountancy (MAcc) integrated program, earning both a B.S. degree and a MAcc in as little as four years.

Curriculum

Faculty members have “real world” experience as auditors and partners in professional accounting and advisory firms, consultants, and C-suite executives. They bring their exceptional and wide-ranging experience into the classroom to complement classroom lectures and exercises, often using case studies and real-world events to help our students understand the professional challenges, and the ethical and technical requirements, of an accounting career. The schedule of classes contains comprehensive information on course offerings.

See the General Bulletin for Specific Course Requirements

Work experience

Our students participate in work experience or internships which expose them to the opportunities and demands of the global workplace. Students intern in cities around the country, with most in New York, Cleveland and Chicago. Recent survey results show that 100% of our students receive at least one internship before they graduate.
