CIP Code
27.0501
Accounting
Financial accounting and auditing. Prepares students to practice the profession of accounting and perform related business functions. Coursework covers accounting principles and theory, managerial and cost accounting, budget control, tax accounting, auditing, reporting and statement analysis, business information systems, and professional standards and ethics.
Accounting & Finance
Combined degree covering financial accounting, managerial accounting, auditing, taxation, and corporate finance. Common preparation for the CPA and CFA, though neither is earned with the degree alone — CPA education and experience requirements are set state by state, with some states requiring 150 semester hours, and the CFA charter adds three exam levels plus 4,000 hours of qualifying work experience.
Accounting Technology & Bookkeeping
Applied accounting and bookkeeping — recording transactions, payroll, accounts payable and receivable, and accounting software. Awarded mainly as a certificate or associate degree at community and technical colleges, and distinct from the four-year Accounting degree, which is the starting point for CPA licensure — CPA licensure additionally requires passing the CPA Exam plus either 150 semester hours and one year of experience or a bachelor's degree and two years of experience, depending on the state. NCES CIP 52.0302 "Accounting Technology/Technician and Bookkeeping".
