Recently Mount Aloysius has acquired the Mount Aloysius Project also known as Mock Investigation Day. This allows students to form teams with special agents to investigate mock criminal scenarios and apply their classroom education. This program of study at Mount Aloysius was developed in consultation with the IRS Criminal Investigations Division and gives students the advantage of having numerous career opportunities in forensics. There is not a similar opportunity offered in any other accounting program.

A concentration is a selection or prescribed set of courses associated with a major designed to focus the student’s course of study according to interest and/or career goals. A concentration is not a required component of all majors. A concentration must be formally declared for it to appear on the transcript of record.

Students who have been accepted for admission into the College are eligible to matriculate into any degree program sponsored by the Business and Information Technology Department. Accounting students will benefit from having a good math background including high school algebra and other advanced math classes.

All new students will initially register through the Academic Advising Office of the College. After the initial registration process, students will be assigned an academic advisor in the Department. Schedules in semesters subsequent to the first semester will be completed in conjunction with the assigned academic advisor.
