Business Administration Division, Bachelor of Science in Accounting

Pepperdine University’s undergraduate accounting program, which is housed in the Business Administration Division, is designed to prepare students for careers in public and private accounting. The program has fewer students as compared to other accounting departments of comparably sized schools, which means students have the opportunity to develop strong bonds with the faculty, both in the classroom and at frequent department-sponsored events. Because Pepperdine University is affiliated with the Church of Christ, accounting majors receive a quality accounting education in an environment dedicated to religious values.

Bachelor of Science, Accounting

Loyola Marymount University’s accounting program, offered through the College of Business Administration, is designed to prepare students for accounting careers in both the public and private sectors. Because the skills taught in the classroom align closely with skills needed at the professional level, Loyola graduates have a high pass rate for many accounting certification examinations. Loyola Marymount University is unique in that it houses the Center for Accounting Ethics, Governance, and the Public Interest, which, in addition to hosting accounting-related lectures and special events, ensures that ethics remain a core value of the school’s accounting curriculum.
