So much more than career-ready.

Unlock the potential of a career in accounting at Muhlenberg with opportunities that prepare you for success professionally while allowing you to explore a diversity of disciplines that will set you apart from the competition. 

An instructor leans over the shoulder of a student and writes something on the paper in front of them while other students look on.

Supported by a slate of faculty who are themselves experienced, licensed CPAs, you will be encouraged to challenge yourself to learn in real world environments — whether at a corporate internship near home, a classroom in the Netherlands or a governmental agency in the nation’s capital. Career readiness is a priority and students have access to experiential learning opportunities developed with the Big Four accounting firms —  Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young and KPMG — and guidance that ensures students have enough credit hours to sit for the CPA exam upon graduation.

And within our liberal arts environment, you’ll have the opportunity to pair your accounting education with vastly different passions such as theatre, history or neuroscience. The possibilities are endless and entirely in your hands.
