Welcome
to the Accounting Department
Accreditation
of the Accounting Programs
In 1990, the accounting programs at the University of New
Orleans became the first in the New Orleans area and the
Louisiana State University (LSU) System to receive separate
accounting accreditation
from AACSB International at both the undergraduate and graduate
levels. In 2001, this separate accounting accreditation
was reaffirmed. Only 90 programs in the United States have
this distinction. Such special accreditation results from
meeting a rigorous set of standards involving curriculum,
faculty adequacy, research output, teaching, and student
performance and places the Department in an exceptionally
favorable position nationally.
CPA
Exam Results
UNO consistently ranks as one of the top universities in
Louisiana in both the number of graduates taking the CPA
exam and in the percentage pass rate. UNO continues to exceed
the national average for individuals passing the exam on
their first attempt. On the May 1993 exam, the first-time
pass rate for UNO candidates was fourth-highest in the nation.
Curriculum
in Accounting
The
Bachelor of Science in Accounting curriculum is designed to
prepare students to begin to develop careers in professional
accountancy. The program also serves as a foundation for entrance
into graduate programs in business or accounting. While technical
competence in business and accounting areas is the prime concern,
the program also strives to develop:
- analytical
abilities
- communication
skills
- an
awareness of conflicting views
- an
intellectual curiosity for dealing with unresolved issues
- a
perspective for dealing with evolving professional practice
The
educational process focuses students' attention on seeking
explanations that are intellectually and theoretically sound,
as well as on learning generally accepted solutions to already
defined problems.
