Public Accounting Major

The Public Accounting Major at Gustavus is a rigourous combination of accounting and business courses designed to meet the educational requirements (both course requirements and the 150 credit hour requirement) to be licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in the state of Minnesota. The goal of this major is to provide the academic background necessary for students who wish to pursue professional positions in either public accounting or private businesses. Students who anticipate CPA licensure in other states should check with that state's board of accountancy for program equivalency information.
