The
Le Moyne College Department of Accounting seeks to prepare students
with the skills necessary to become professionals in the field.
In addition to a rigorous program of both accounting and business-related
subjects it provides a strong liberal arts foundation and attempts
to improve both oral and written communications skills of its students.
The program is currently registered with the New York State Department of Education and meets the present requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. This program allows graduates to satisfy the requirements for admission to the CPA examination in New York State.
The college has been approved by the New York State Department of Education to offer the 150-hour program in Accounting for the new state requirement effective August 1, 2009. Students completing this program would receive both a B.S. in Accounting and an MBA degree.
Graduates of the Accounting program have found opportunities in both the public and private accounting sectors. Long a renowned program for accounting in the Central New York area, the expansion of Le Moyne’s alumni base has now extended its accounting graduates nationwide, creating added employment opportunities for recent graduates. While attending Le Moyne many students have had the opportunity for finding part-time employment with local accounting firms, many of which are headed by Le Moyne graduates. In addition the school has instituted an Accounting Society and has student chapters of the Institute of Management Accountants and Institute of Internal Auditors to bring real-world experience to its students through such functions as guest lectures, seminars and office tours.
