Gain knowledge for a successful future in accounting
Mercer’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Accounting provides students with the strong academic foundation necessary for a successful career in the accounting profession—whether in public accounting firms, government, corporations, or as an independent certified public accountant (CPA).

Mercer’s courses were practical and discussed various aspects of today’s financial world. By the time I graduated, I was well equipped with every skill needed for a successful career in accounting.
Mercer’s BBA program is helping me become prepared in all aspects of the business industry. I have really enjoyed the close-knit community of advisors and professors who constantly try to help curate a path for students to become successful in the field they are looking to pursue.
I particularly enjoyed the Business Strategy class, where we were divided into teams and competed strategically in a multi-round simulation. It not only reinforced my teamwork skills but also developed my leadership skills. I believe Mercer’s BBA program has well prepared me for a smooth transition from campus to my early career.
