Accounting is everywhere – in corporations, government, non-profit and small startups. It is the best way to help you understand the operations of an organization. At Elon, we integrate cutting-edge data analytics tools in every accounting course. You will learn business processes, analyze organizational performance, tax-saving strategies and fraud examination techniques.

In addition to a traditional 4-year B.S. degree in accounting and an 11-month master’s degree, we offer an accelerated 3+1 dual-degree program, so that you can earn both the master’s and bachelor’s degrees in four years.

Whether you want to become a CPA, pursue a career in finance or corporate management, work in government, or become an entrepreneur, accounting can take you there.
