Accountancy, B.S.
The School of Business’ separate accounting accreditation through AACSB International requires that the School establish a separate statement of mission for its accountancy program complementary to the School’s basic mission statement provided. Accordingly, the mission and values of the School’s accountancy program are as follows:
The mission of the Wake Forest accountancy program is to enhance business, society, and the accountancy profession through our teaching and scholarship. We value: an environment that promotes thoughtful reflection and a high level of face-to-face interaction; intellectual curiosity, including a passion for the study of business; teaching excellence; challenging academic standards consistent with high-quality students; the creation and dissemination of knowledge; honor, integrity, and respect for the ethical and legal foundations of the accountancy profession; and strong relationships with alumni, recruiters, and other members of the accountancy profession.
The accountancy program includes both the baccalaureate and master’s programs. Students who major in either accountancy or finance (FIN-M) at the baccalaureate level may apply for admission to the MSA program during their junior year (see MSA Program Admissions). The coursework, combined with the opportunity to complete a professional internship, provides students with a solid foundation in the concepts, principles, and practices of accountancy and business.
