Accounting is more than just numbers. It’s actually an entire information system that the world depends on. 

In UNB’s Accounting program, you’ll learn about the information system that every business, every organization, and every economic entity in our world depends on to answer key economic questions: Are we succeeding or failing? Are we using resources effectively? What changes should we make and how should we make them? What does our future look like? 

Accounting is available as a major in the Bachelor of Business Administration program.

Students who have completed a community college program in business may apply for the Bachelor of Applied Management in Accounting.
