Bachelor's in Business Administration: Accounting
Find Your Professional Path | Hands-On Experience
The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting is a versatile degree, offering a foundation in business as well as providing a strong orientation for those who choose to pursue a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) license.
An accounting degree is portable, allowing students to easily relocate anywhere. With an accounting degree, students can work in CPA firms, large corporations, small businesses, not-for-profit entities, or government organizations at all levels (federal, state, and local).
UAF’s accounting degree is the only one of its kind in Alaska accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier global accrediting body for business and accounting programs and schools. Small class sizes and several active student organizations offer students opportunities for career guidance, networking, internships, and soft skill development to complement the technical skills gained through the classroom.
