"I absolutely love how Menlo College provides opportunities for students to work with amazing, experienced accounting professors who help students seek internship possibilities with the local, regional, and the big four accounting firms of America. With this assistance, I am able to plan my career and enjoy the possibility of job security at the beginning of my senior year.""

Donna Little
Associate Professor of Accounting and Finance

"At Menlo, we say 'Small college – big advantage!' The big advantage is especially evident for students who major in accounting – faculty support, excellent curriculum, internships and job placement, and graduating on time. Accounting classes here are small and they are taught by dedicated full-time faculty with a mix of practical and scholarly qualifications. We use the software and the tools that students will need to compete in the job market. Faculty get to know each student as an individual and can provide the kind of professional support that results in excellent internship and career placement. At Menlo accounting classes are not impacted; students have ready access to the classes they need, making graduation in four years an expected outcome. These are advantages not only for the students, but for the accounting faculty as well, which is why I love teaching here."

Accounting Program

Accounting Major, B.S. in Business

Accountants track and analyze the financial performance of organizations and provide managers with crucial information for decision making. Recent economic and financial crises reinforce the importance of trustworthy, fairly presented accounting information. Menlo College's Accounting program is designed to prepare a student for a career in accounting. Students study all of the main areas of financial and managerial accounting in order to have a thorough overview of the field which is complemented by a practical internship experience.

This is an example of a possible guideline for on-time graduation from Menlo College. For full requirements and prerequisites, please refer back to degree checklists or the course catalog. Students must also pass the English Proficiency Exam in order to graduate.
