Good Minor for Accounting Major

College Majors Business Major

<p>Hey! This is my first post :)</p>

<p>I am currently about to go back to school..since my last semester didn't end well, I've decided to attend a community college for the time being so I can get my GPA up and transfer to the school I have been wanting to attend. My plan is to major in accounting. Being a Forensic Accountant is my goal. Since my school doesn't offer Forensic Accounting as a major(not even sure if I would major in it if they did have it), I was wondering what a good minor would be? My first instinct is Criminal Justice..
The choices I have narrowed down to are:
Criminal Justice
Business Law
Cognitive Science
Finance
Economics
Law and Society
Professional and Applied Ethics
Sociology</p>

<p>I know that some of these are a no-go but just figured I would throw them out there :)</p>

<p>Thank you for the responses ahead of time :)</p>

<p>A CJ minor probably wouldn’t teach you much practical stuff that would help you as a forensic accountant. Do you wanna work for the FBI or something? They’ll teach you what you actually need to know at the academy ;)</p>

<p>I’d say just take the one you’re most interested in. Cognitive Science sounds pretty cool, no idea what the hell it is though.</p>

<p>i would probably say business law. having a good understanding of the law when you are a forensic accountant is important.</p>

<p>Of those:
probably business law or economics</p>

<p>extra computers classes would probably offer greater benefit though.</p>
