Manchester College’s Department of Accounting and Business prepares students for a wide variety of business careers, but it is best known for its Accounting program, which is one of the finest in the Midwest, if not the country.

Manchester graduates have a record of performing extremely well on the Uniform CPA exam.  In fact, Manchester ranked in a tie for third in the nation among colleges and universities graduating candidates with advanced degrees, based on the percentage of its students who passed all four parts of the exam on the first attempt in 2001.

The students who complete this program possess the knowledge, skills, abilities and work ethic that employers seek.  Consequently, the most well-respected accounting firms in the United States recruit at Manchester, providing its students with opportunities for both internships and full-time employment.

If accounting is not a good fit for the student, the department also offers outstanding programs in finance, management, marketing, and general business.  These programs provide students with many career options, ranging from managing a small business to handling the finances of a large corporation to starting one’s own small business.

In addition, a number of students who graduate with a major in this department become attorneys, joining some of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the state of Indiana.

In the Department of Accounting and Business at Manchester College, the academic programs are rigorous, the workload is heavy, and the expectations are high, but the potential rewards are great.
