Furman students interested in the Accounting major or the Business Administration major should contact the Chair of the Business and Accounting Department (Sandra Roberson at sandy.roberson@furman.edu​) to schedule an informational meeting. Students are encouraged to do this as soon as possible to ensure they complete the necessary prerequisites by the end of their sophomore year.

If you are interested in declaring Accounting as your major, be sure to contact a member of the accounting faculty to discuss courses, scheduling, and future ambitions.  Our faculty can make sure you have taken the right path to your desired goal after Furman.

Upon acceptance into the Business Administration major, you will be enrolled in our Business Block, a set of courses that are similar to what you would find in an MBA program. These courses emphasize four functional areas: accounting, finance, marketing and operations. The interweaving of these courses through practical, pragmatic exercises has a significant effect on how students conceptualize course materials and apply them to real and current problems.  You will take these upper-division courses with a small cohort of students, where you will have an opportunity to develop enduring relationships that will pay dividends in your professional career.
