Lycoming's Accounting department enjoys a long standing tradition of excellence in teaching and successful placement of graduates. Being an accountant is more than simply being "good with numbers." Accountants also need strong problem-solving abilities, analytical skills and technical know-how. An average class size of 15 students and faculty with extensive and current real-world experience, as well as a program with three available majors and a minor, insure that our accounting students develop these necessary abilities. The purpose of the accounting major is to help prepare the student for a career within the accounting profession. In order to satisfy the needs of an extremely diverse profession, the major in accounting consists of three separate tracks. Track I is designed for students with an interest in accounting for the informational needs of managers including business entities, non-profit entities and internal auditing. This track will provide excellent preparation for the Certified Management Accounting (CMA) exam. Track II is a 128 semester hour program and is designed to meet the requirements of the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy for those students whose goal is to become Certified Public Accountants in Pennsylvania. Track III is a 150 semester hour program designed to meet the 150 hour requirement of the American Institute of Certified Public Accounts for those students whose goal is to become a member of the AICPA in Pennsylvania or any other state. The challenging academic program is accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
