Accounting Degree Tracks

• Business students at Fordham can choose from three types of accounting degrees.

The Bachelor's of Applied Accounting and Finance is intended for students who want a career that comprises both accounting, which is considered the language of business, and finance. This degree is suitable for students who want to be prepared to analyze and forecast business information and trends. The Bachelor's Degree in Accounting Information Systems educates students on the language of business and information technology.

Marketing

• The Bachelor of Science in Marketing is intended for students who want a career working with either for-profit or non-profit organizations. This program is based in the belief that marketing is a driving force in the world economy and, as a result, Fordham encourages marketing students to develop an understanding of several cultures and speak languages in addition to English. Students can design their individual programs to best match their goals, such as developing a career in advertising, research, retail and e-marketing, product management or international marketing. Course options include pricing, promotion and distribution and new product design.
