Bachelor of Science in Accounting to its current degree
offerings. This program is designed to provide broad
exposure to the theories, principles, and practices of

"With the creation of more stringent government
regulations and an increased awareness of ethical
practices in business, the accounting profession is
projected to experience rapid growth and increased job
opportunities over the next 10 years," said Dr. John
Theodore, dean of Grantham University's Skousen School
of Business. "This program not only offers more variety
to our students; it also fulfills a need for qualified
