Accounting is often referred to as "the language of business" because accountants communicate complex financial information to business decision-makers. You'll learn to analyze past activities, forecast future operations, measure performance, track expenses, and provide internal controls to prevent fraud or theft. Beyond equipping you with these essential skills, the program encourages you to lead through service and glorify God with your integrity in the workplace. You'll graduate ready to make an impact in the business world.

From Our Students:
-
The Robert W. Plaster School of Business has taught me so much about the business world and how to incorporate my biblical beliefs into my future career. There have been quite a few opportunities for me to apply this learning to a real-world scenario, especially during my time in the IBC. The professors have encouraged me in many ways, from allowing me to ask questions to planning my future after Cedarville.
