Accounting Is More Than Just Numbers, It’s A Solid Future

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commonly identifies four fields in accounting: Accredited Business Accountants, Certified Management Accountants, Certified Internal Auditors, and the most well known, the Certified Public Accountant. It should be no surprise that of the approximately 2 million current accountants, 1.29 million are CPAs. That’s over 65 percent and the number appears to be growing, certainly in the overall field. With an expected 22% increase by the year 2018, the availability and comprehensive catalog of courses offered towards a masters degree at online colleges is one of the most sought.
