<p>Which looks better to Accounting employers, a Management major with a Concentration in Accounting, or a Management major with a Minor in Accounting? A Minor in Accounting consists of 15-18 hours of Accounting courses, while I am unsure of what a "Concentration in Accounting" requires. Would a Business Administration/Management major with a Minor in Accounting be eligible to apply for and get hired for some accounting jobs, since the major requires 15-18 hours of Accounting courses? I am worried about not being able to find a decent job just graduating with a plain BSBA in Management, without a concentration or minor.</p>
<p>The major usually requires 24 hours. And accounting majors probably use some of their free electives to take extra accounting classes so they’ll always have the edge. If you’re still in your first or second year of school, why not double major/concentrate.? I mean most of your courses would or at least should overlap.</p>
<p>To answer your question though, I would go with the concentration in Accounting. I’ve read plenty of posts on here where people have said employers don’t pay particular attention to what someone minors in.</p>
<p>yeah, I messed up in the Original Post, I said “since the major requires 15-18 hours”, I meant to say, “since the MINOR requires 15-18 hours of Accounting Courses”. Let’s just say a double major is out of the picture. I am actually a Junior. My school does not offer a “Concentration” in Anything. They only offer the Majors separately and then offer Minors in each of the Business disciplines. From looking at jobs on search engines and stuff, it seems as though there are a decent number of Accounting positions that are slow to be filled. For a job that says it requires a 4-year degree in Accounting, would a Management Major with a Minor in Accounting even get considered? Let’s say someone with a 3.0+ GPA.</p>
<p>is it too late to change to an Accounting major?</p>
<p>If not, do the minor in Accounting, and then take extra accounting courses to reach your 150 hours that are necessary to sit for the CPA. (Of course, then become a CPA)</p>
