<p>Are there any UC schools which offer accounting as a major?</p>
<p>Don't mean to be messed up, but for christ's sake do you really need someone to Google this for you?</p>
<p>I don't. I have googled it and I looked on assist.org and I cant find anything for accounting at UC schools, only CSU schools.</p>
<p>No, but UCLA has an accounting minor. USC on the other hand has a top notch accounting program.</p>
<p>I believe that UCSB has an major called "Business Economics - Accounting Emphasis"</p>
<p>UCLA also has an accounting minor, not sure about other campuses though...</p>
<p>I guess that passing the CPA exam and getting the required units are also important if you want to be an accountant</p>
<p>No UC offers an Accounting minor </p>
<p>Most will offer accounting as a minor that meets the requirements to take the CPA test.</p>
<p>UCI and UCR have it under Business Administration</p>
<p>There is no need for an undergraduate degree in Accountant. Just major in anything (business preferably) and attend Business school for Graduate. That's how most successful Accountants do it.</p>
<p>Do the accounting minors at these UC’s meet only California CPA requirements? How about nationally?</p>
<p>The Business Managment Econ major at UCSC has an optional accounting series that meet CPA requirements.</p>
<p>Accountants are like doctors and lawyers, they tale a standard nationwide examination but being licenses to practice is managed by the state. To be licensed to practice as a CPA all states require an applicant pass the CPA exam but each may have different requirements as to what courses have to be completed in college, what other types of training may be needed and the amount and type of experience working under the supervision of a licensed CPA a candidate must have before they can be licensed to practice independently. All prospective CPAs start in entry level positions, usually as an audit assistant for an accounting firm. In the division of labor in California higher education, preparation of graduates to take entry level audit assistant positions with accounting firms has been seen as a more appropriate activity for the CSUs than the UCs which as research universities focus on preparing graduates for further study in more academic pursuites. </p>
<p>What the UCs offer in Accounting is probably the bare minimum to meet the training requirements for licensure in the state of California.</p>
