Department of Accounting

Accounting produces information for making decisions about organizations. LeBow's accounting coursework is designed to provide basic conceptual accounting and business knowledge for careers in accounting and taxation in many settings. Courses cover accounting, auditing, tax preparation, and related topics.

The greatest range of career opportunities are in public, private and government accounting. Professional accountants are normally certified as public accountants (CPA) or managerial accountants (CMA) after passing professional examinations. Drexel's accounting concentration meets the education requirements needed in most states in order to sit for these exams. The University's co-op program provides an advantage to accounting students who plan to practice locally. Time spent working in co-op internship positions as a student is often accepted as part of the two years of accounting experience needed for CPA certification in Pennsylvania.
