Bachelor of Business Administration-Accounting
We express ourselves through language and accounting is the universal language of business. The accounting degree program at TAMUT prepares students for professional careers as accountants, consultants, analysts, financial planners, corporate controllers, and many more! Faculty work closely with students in small classroom settings. Classes are offered at a variety of times during the day, evening and online in an effort to accommodate our students.
Accounting Club
We encourage students to engage in extracurricular activities to enhance their professional and academic experiences. The TAMUT College of Business, Engineering and Technology Accounting Club helps to build your networking skills and make friends at the university and in the profession. In addition to many other activities, the club meets twice a year with the Texarkana Chapter of the Texas and Arkansas Societies of CPAs.
