Accounting Minor
Accounting is the Language of Business
An accounting minor allows students to sample the accounting field while still focusing on their major. An accounting minor greatly compliments the skills developed in almost all business disciplines and allows non-accounting majors to broaden their education at Western.
While accounting may not be your main field of study, the principles of accounting are useful in many career paths. Accounting is widely considered the language of business, and your understanding of key concepts will equip you in the business world.
