University Catalog 2026-2027

Accounting (Minor)

The Accounting Minor adds practical, career-ready skills to any major, teaching students how money, business, and decision making work. Students will:

  • Prepare and analyze financial statements to evaluate financial performance and assist in planning and forecasting.
  • Develop hands on experience using analytics tools and technology that employers use in practice
  • Engage in high impact, active learning through professional internships and real-world practicums.

Declaring the Minor

Students should go to Add a Minor to apply. 

Certification

The minor must be completed no later than the semester in which the student expects to graduate from his or her degree program.  If transfer credits contribute to the completion of the minor, students need to ensure that official transcripts are sent and processed at NC State.
