The Accountancy (ACC) major in the Wake Forest University School of Business provides a foundation in the concepts, principles and practices of accountancy and business that students need for success in the early years of their careers. The major also provides the foundation for students to successfully complete the Master of Science in Accountancy (MSA) degree. Students majoring in accountancy apply to the five-year accountancy program (which includes both the baccalaureate and master’s program).

This integrated five-year accountancy program offers the flexibility and rigorous preparation required to pursue a variety of accounting-related careers, including auditing and assurance, taxation, business advisory services, forensic accounting, and investment and commercial banking.

Through courses, seminars, case-based research in finance, accounting, auditing and taxation, MSA students acquire the skills necessary for professional success. An internship in the fourth year provides the critical link between classroom knowledge and professional experience.
