The Accounting Minor at OSU allows students to expand their understanding of a vital quantitative and applied business discipline. Accounting is often referred to as the “Language of Business,” and the Minor prepares students to effectively operate in the business environment across a wide variety of roles that involve accounting information. In positions from small-business owner to marketing team manager, an understanding of accounting will improve business decision making, contribute to effective financial management, help to obtain access to capital, support the evaluation of past performance, and more effectively project profitability into the future.
