The
Department of Accounting at the University of Central
Arkansas has as its primary mission the provision of a high
quality undergraduate major. The curriculum is designed to
provide students with a strong theoretical foundation such
that they will be well prepared to become life-long learners
who can evolve professionally with the inevitable career
changes they will encounter. Accounting graduates are
prepared for entry-level positions in public accounting,
private industry and not-for-profit organizations as well as
entry into graduate programs in accounting, business
administration, or law. Local, regional, and international
firms regularly hire accounting graduates from UCA. In
recent years, UCA accounting graduates have been
honored for receiving the highest score in the state on the
CPA Examination.
