Often called “the language of business,” accounting is a vital, dynamic field. This major helps you prepare for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exams. Successful accountants have a solid business and accounting knowledge base as well as substantial analytical, interpersonal and communication skills. Our majors are recruited extensively by employers in public accounting practice and in corporate, governmental and nonprofit organizations.

I work for an awesome company, rated highest in customer service online and on the phones by BusinessWeek for the third year in a row. It’s a JAVA shop and as an entry-level developer I get to use the skills I sharpened tutoring other IS students. It’s really cool; not many recent grads can say they use what they learned in school on their first job. Shondra Freeman, Class of 2007
After passing the CPA Exam on the first try and landing my Big 4 Accounting dream job, I don’t think I have ever been so grateful to have worked so hard as I did in the BAcc and MAcc Programs. The Accounting Faculty at NMSU are exceptionally unique in the way they each foster not only our academic development, but our professional and personal development as well. Given the chance to go back and do it again, I’d pick NMSU Accounting every single time. Steph Snodgrass, Class of 2009, 2010.
I work for ShineWing Certified Public Accountants, one of the biggest accounting firms in China. It is a wonderful experience to practice what I have learnt from school in real auditing field. The undergraduate accounting program not only taught me technical knowledge, but more importantly, the integrated learning experience helped me draw a clear career path. Mastering both Mandarin and English and understanding US GAAP enable me to learn accounting principles of other countries with fast speed. ShineWing has been expanding globally and I am excited to get involved. Jiayi Zhu, Class of 2010
