Upon completion of the program, students will have a firm understanding of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and be well-positioned to prepare for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) exam. A degree in accounting from Eastern Nazarene College is designed to make students fluent in the “language of business” and skilled at measuring and analyzing economic activities and performance.
Students enjoy small, interactive classes with a blend of full time and adjunct faculty who work in their respective fields and bring a wealth of experience to the classroom. Students are engaged in individual and team projects with course simulations across multiple disciplines, competing against each other and other educational institutions and corporations across the globe.
Students may participate in two student-led clubs. The Business Society aims to cultivate interest in business and connect Eastern Nazarene College with local businesses. The Investment Club develops strategies to invest one million dollars in five different sectors (pharmaceutical, green, finance, agricultural, and merchandise). Each student is committed to researching an investment portfolio and providing an informative and persuasive presentation regarding the stock activity and reasons to invest in a company.
