Undergraduate Current Students | Accounting

Accounting is central to the effective management of business enterprises and is a key component in the proper functioning of the free market system. There are many rewarding career opportunities in accounting and related professions such as security analysis, investment banking, corporate finance, banking, and taxation. You can pursue a concentration in general accounting or the BS/MS in Accounting Dual Degree Program which prepares students to sit for the CPA exam in New York State.

To declare a concentration in General Accounting, you must fill out the concentration declaration form on Stern Life.

Required Functional Business Core Course:

• Managerial Accounting (ACCT-UB 4)

You are required to complete at least 12 credits of upper-level accounting courses that consist of:

• Financial Statement Analysis (ACCT-UB 3)
• Three (3) approved Advanced Accounting Elective courses
  • Any “ACCT-UB” elective
  • Financial Analytics Using Python and AI Tools (ACCT-GB 6028)
  • Any “ACCT-GB 6300+” elective
  • Accounting for Sustainability (BSPA-UB 67)
  • Business Drivers of Industries (INTA-GB 6056 previously MULT-UB 56)
  • Tech Industry Drivers (INTA-GB 6057 previously MULT-UB 57)

• A Stern elective course may satisfy only one concentration requirement. For example, Financial Modeling & Analysis (ACCT-UB 23) can count as an advanced Accounting elective or as a Finance elective, but it cannot satisfy both requirements.
• Stern juniors and seniors can request enrollment access into an MBA (-GB) course by filling out the MBA Course Request Form. See the form for more information. If you have questions about how a graduate course can fulfill concentration requirements, please speak with your Stern academic advisor.
