Philip L. Kintzele School of Accounting

Accounting is about more than numbers. It's about understanding how organizations work and helping leaders make informed decisions. At CMU, you'll build the skills, experience and professional connections to launch your career with confidence.

Build the skills organizations rely on

Every organization needs professionals who can make sense of complex information, identify risks and help guide important decisions. As an accounting student, you'll learn how businesses operate, how financial information drives strategy and how to communicate insights that matter. Along the way, you'll develop the analytical thinking, attention to detail and professional judgment that employers value across industries.

You'll also have opportunities to explore specialized areas such as auditing, taxation, forensic accounting and financial analysis while building relationships with faculty who know you by name.
