Accounting Program<\/h4>\n

Mission<\/h4>\n

Consistent with the College of Business Administration, the Accounting program prepares students from the Bayou Region of South Louisiana and beyond to contribute to a dynamic regional and global economy as well-educated, responsible, and engaged accounting professionals through quality teaching, applied and pedagogical research, and service.<\/p>\n

Accreditation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both the College of Business and the Accounting Program are accredited by AACSB International. AACSB Accounting Accreditation is an additional specialized, professional designation for accounting programs. In order for an accounting program to be accredited, the College of Business must currently be AACSB accredited. The Accounting program at Nicholls achieved initial accreditation in 2007. Less than 3% of the accounting programs worldwide have earned this distinction. Maintenance of accreditation requires a rigorous self-evaluation and peer review process that focuses on continuous improvements related to strategic management, high quality faculty\/student mix and a demonstration of student learning.<\/p>\n
