Accounting is the language and foundation of everyday business.
Your career possibilities are endless as every aspect of society needs accountants. There is employment in forensic accounting/auditing for financial law enforcement, in a range of federal and state agencies, in major corporations and in smaller businesses. You can use your accounting skills as an entrepreneur or for other entrepreneurs.
Our experienced faculty bring to the classroom robust academic credentials and real working experience. Students learn directly from faculty who work with clients and involve students in actual case studies.
Internships play an imperative roll in the learning experience. At Finlandia, our small class sizes help teachers and students connect, communicate and plan their interests in a professional internship. Teachers place a focus on experiential learning tailored to the students’ career goals.
At Finlandia University, accounting students are encouraged to test their knowledge of accounting principles while also explore the surrounding Keweenaw Peninsula.
In the classroom, students will gain an interdisciplinary understanding of accounting theory and concepts. They will develop an understanding of the ethical and social impacts of accounting.
Outside the classroom, recreational opportunities in the area are tremendous. Students have the chance to bike, hike, swim, fish and visit some of the most beautiful locations in Michigan.
