Overview

Program Description

The Accounting program at New Mexico State University is designed to provide a technical and theoretical foundation in accountancy at the advanced level and yet allow the student to take courses to accommodate individual needs.

The last two decades have witnessed a tremendous expansion in the knowledge base required for accounting professionals. The business environment has become increasingly complex, as evidenced by the growth in the body of national and international accounting and auditing standards, taxation, SEC and other regulatory requirements. The accountant must also be well versed in communications and analytical skills, computer-based information systems, professional ethics and global issues.

Neither the traditional four-year accounting program nor the MBA provides the educational breadth and depth necessary to fully prepare students for the demands now imposed by many accounting careers.
