About Accounting

Upon completing your degree, you will be prepared to embark on an accounting career or a management career with a strong accounting emphasis as well as prepared to attend graduate business and accounting programs.

NNU is one of the few Pacific Northwest universities to hold accreditation through the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs. Since 1997, graduating seniors consistently place in the 90th percentile or higher on the business field test.
