Accounting

Dr. Mary Kirchner, Department Chair for Accounting and Financial Economics

Well grounded in the foundations of modern business theory and practices, the Accounting degree at Methodist University prepares students for career paths in a wide range of industries. Students will focus on general business knowledge and market fundamentals before moving on to more advanced study of accounting principles, individual and corporate taxation, asset management, and cost control. Students completing the degree requirements in Accounting will find themselves well prepared for the workplace or graduate study. Accounting majors are among the most sought after and well compensated graduates in today’s business world, and the continued expansion of global commerce will only increase demand.

The Accounting degree program, like all Reeves School of Business programs, places an emphasis on practical application of theory and principles to prepare students to succeed in the workplace. Students will work in teams to develop their abilities in accounting as well as leadership and management. Student/ Professor collaboration on research, community enrichment projects, and cultural exploration foster an increased sense of community and real world scholarship.

Like all Reeves School of Business majors, the Accounting degree can be paired with a concentration in Health Care Administration; PGA Golf Management; Professional Tennis Management; Resort, Club, and Hospitality Management; and Sport Management.
