      Undergraduate Pathway Programs in Accountancy

      Pursuing an undergraduate pathway program is a great choice for international students learning English who want to take additional courses that will count toward an undergraduate degree. Those who complete the program and show English language proficiency and an acceptable GPA in their course of study are usually given “conditional acceptance” to complete their degree at the U.S. affiliate school.

      What is an undergraduate pathway in accountancy? The accountancy profession is far different today than it was just 10 or 20 years ago. In the past, Certified Public Accountants would work the books for clients and companies, helping make sure businesses and individuals were within budget. Today, scholars learn how to be financial planners. Modern-day classes focus on financial planning, analysis, financial forecasting, decision support and more.

      The program helps ensure students are taught skills necessary to succeed in accountancy. Organizational skills are key since accountants must maintain impeccable client records. Time management is a critical skill to learn, as accountants juggle different priorities. They must be open and honest with their clients, as well.

      Most pathway programs can be completed in a year, but that often depends on whether full- or part-time coursework is pursued. Tuition depends on the school, geographic location, and if applicants qualify for scholarships, financial aid and the like.

      There are a number of careers graduates with an accounting degree can pursue. They include booking clerk and managing the ledger for a company, as well as some or all its accounts. Graduates may work as associates in accounts payable or accounts receivable, helping ensure the business pays its bills and is paid for its services. Payroll clerks help make sure employees accurately record their hours worked and pay those employees for their service.
