Accounting The Accounting degree will prepare students for positions in public accounting, private business, governmental or for graduate study in accounting or business programs. The program is designed to develop communication skills and to enhance the student's ability to analyze and solve problems in a dynamic accounting and business environment. The curriculum provides students with a broad business background and the opportunity to receive training in a wide variety of accounting areas including financial and managerial accounting, auditing, information systems, and tax. The accounting major must complete ACCT 201 and 203 with a B- or better. Transfer students must also complete at least four upper-school accounting courses while at BYUH. BUSINESS CORE Students must acquire a "common body of knowledge" in business. The guidelines provided by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) are used as a basis for identifying the courses included in the "Business Core" at BYU-H.
