Accounting Overview & Goals

It also meets the academic requirements necessary in West Virginia to be eligible to sit for the CPA exam. Our accounting students develop research and critical thinking skills, have a comprehensive and thorough background in the concepts, laws and regulations governing the accounting profession, and refine both written and oral accounting and business strategies that will prepare them for a wide range of careers.

Our accounting graduates have successfully completed graduate programs in accounting, law, and business, and they hold impressive positions in international, national and regional public accounting firms, law, government, and business entities in a variety of industries.

Area Of Study

Accounting (Major, Minor)

“When I look back on my experiences at Bethany College, I immediately think about my Freshman Seminar class with Dr. Buckelew. It was the first time that I was encouraged and taught to think differently and be open to other solutions. These are the exact same things that I use when mentoring and teaching our leadership team at Ziegnfelder.”

Kevin Heller, Accounting '95
