Accounting
Accounting concerns the collection, processing and reporting of information about the financial performance of economic organizations. The demand for this information arises from many sources including the need of management to report to owners and shareholders, the need to make decisions which promote the success of the organization and the need to comply with tax laws and other legal requirements.

The accounting program at Wilmington College is designed to prepare students for a wide variety of career options in public accounting, industry and government. In recognition of the role of accountants in today's economy, the program emphasizes development of both the ability to use the outputs of the accounting process and the skills necessary to design, operate and manage accounting informations systems. Students completing the program can choose to demonstrate their proficiency in accounting by seeking to achieve professional designation as one or more of the following: Certified Public Account (CPA), Certified Management Account (CMA), and Certified Internal Auditor (CIA). In addition, the Bachelor of Arts degree with an Accounting major is accredited by the International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE).

Liberal Studies
The Liberal Studies major assumes that a well educated person must explore the rich diversity of the human condition as it has been and is reflected through the study of the humanities, natural sciences, social sciences and fine arts. A serious study of the moral and ethical dilemmas of the past develops in students a greater concern for community, the dignity and worth of every individual, and a commitment to excellence in all pursuits in a life of constant learning. Anchored to excellence in writing, communications, and critical thinking, the Liberal Studies major prepares students for a world and careers in constant flux and transition. Liberal Studies equips students who are not well served by a highly career-oriented major to learn what they will need to know to provide leadership in the increasingly global community of the 21st century.
