Accounting

Accounting is the language of business. Employees of small and large organizations must understand basic accounting principles. The knowledge of debits and credits, financial statements, and accounting information systems is basic for all business activities. Accounting majors must, of course, be well grounded in accounting theory and practice. Many accounting majors sit for the Uniformed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Examination and embark on meaningful careers in the public accounting field. Some accounting majors also seek to take the Certified Management Accountant major associated with it.

Business Law

Business Law constitutes the protocols for managerial action. Business Law courses offered at Northeastern are not a pre-law program and are not intended to be preparation for law school.

Finance

Finance is the study of value. Using basic principles from the fields of accounting, economics, and statistics, finance involves analysis of financial institutions, financial markets, and financial concepts. Finance majors can emphasize the study of markets or the study of financial management practices in their coursework. The financial services field has exploded with new kinds of products and services, creating a need for individuals to seek new financial and investment instruments and services and to manage the entities that provide them. Banking, stock brokerage, commodities/futures/options trading, and financial planning and analysis are traditional areas where finance majors find employment. Frequently, finance majors are sought for entry-level positions in the allied fields of real estate and insurance.
