Traditional accounting concentration. Since many students are interested in accounting but do not desire to sit for the CPA exam right away (or ever), the traditional accounting concentration provides a broader, more general view of accounting. This concentration is ideal for students interested in understanding the language of business, but who are planning to explore entrepreneurial opportunities, or are looking for a career in a business' accounting department. This concentration also is suggested for those intending to double major and for those who would like to explore other liberal arts coursework while intending to focus on accounting after graduation. At CSB/SJU the Public Accounting concentration and the Traditional concentration both meet the current education requirements set by the Minnesota Board of Accountancy to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Examination and for CPA licensure, in Minnesota. In addition to coursework, students are required to have completed 150 semester hours of college-level education in order to qualify to be a CPA. The Department of Accounting & Finance at CSB/SJU is committed to working with those students who wish to take the CPA exam immediately after college to qualify for the 150-hour requirement. -
