Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Financial Management

School of Business

Numbers people can build on.

Most accounting majors stop at the numbers. This one adds real finance depth — investments, banking, and performance management — alongside a full technical core in auditing, tax, and systems.

A single degree that prepares you for both sides of the finance function — the technical accountant’s precision and the analyst’s judgment — grounded in a Christian view of stewardship and trust.

Why This Major? One degree, two disciplines.

One degree, two disciplines: Build expertise in both accounting and finance, gaining knowledge in investments, banking, and performance management.
Comprehensive, career-ready curriculum: Complete a rigorous sequence of upper-level accounting courses, including intermediate accounting, auditing, tax, cost accounting, systems, and advanced accounting.
Technology and leadership integrated throughout: Develop skills in business data and accounting systems while growing as a leader through intentional spiritual and leadership development across all four years.

The Technical Core

Seven courses. One connected sequence. This is the heart of the major — the upper-level accounting and finance coursework that builds your technical credibility, in the order you'll take it.

Beyond the Ledger

Real finance coursework, not a token elective. Three dedicated finance courses sit alongside the accounting core — the analyst's side of the function, not just the accountant's.

Four Year Path

This is the same plan your advisor works from — General Core, Business Core, and your Accounting and Financial Management major, semester by semester. Degree plan

One thing I absolutely love about Crown is the people here. The community makes you feel known and supported. What I love most about my program is the professors. They do an excellent job preparing me for success in my field.
