<p>I was just wondering whether or not this is a good combination or would I be better off just sticking to one?</p>
<p>Hopefully you guys can give me a little bit of input</p>
<p>Is Accounting Information System that you’re looking for? It focus on computer info system & methods in relation to accounting.</p>
<p>To be honest with you, I dont even know what I’m looking for which is quite sad. I’m just seeing if this is worth considering. </p>
<p>But from what I am reading about accounting information system I can say that it seems a little more interesting than just plain accounting</p>
<p>I majored in business administration and computer science, and it was a fantastic combination. It was very, very helpful especially early in my career. I was on the IT side and was able to understand and “speak the language” of the business people, which really propelled me. Even if you’re interested in having a career on the business side, understanding and being able to speak the language of the tech geeks will make you extremely valuable. So, yes, I think your idea is a good one.</p>
<p>Early in your career? So would you say that it became useless later on in your career?</p>
<p>Also do you think its better to major in computer science and minoring in accounting or stick to what I said above?</p>
<p>I am an experienced CPA and lawyer. You can not go wrong with an accounting degree and computer science. Very powerful combination.</p>
<p>This sounds interesting. Which schools or programs do you recommend for this?</p>
<p>Michigan and Illinois</p>
<p>I did this combination.</p>
<p>I worked as an auditor for 3 years to get my CPA experience. My knowledge of data processing concepts gave me a big leg up on the other new auditors. Familiarity and comfort level with technology has been a great asset as an accountant in industry and also now that I am a partner in a small CPA firm.</p>
<p>Washington and Lee.</p>
<p>With respect to “early career”, I would say that by the time you’re approaching mid-career, your experience starts to matter much more than your major. I still work at the intersection of management and technology, so it’s not like I don’t use my undergrad every day, but I’ve also supplemented it with a master’s in a similar area and have earned good experience in three different industries.</p>
