Accounting
Message from the Chairperson
Welcome to the Rider University Department of Accounting. We offer a bachelor's degree program and a master's degree program. We also offer a certificate program in Forensics at the undergraduate level and at the graduate level we offer a concentration in Fraud and Forensic Accounting. We are proud that both the business and accounting programs are accredited by AACSB International, the premier business accreditation. Rider is the only academic institution in New Jersey to hold this dual accreditation and the accreditations’ reflect our commitment to excellence in all our programs.
Our programs prepare our students for a variety of career paths in the accounting profession. We provide a challenging, yet supportive, learning environment and our classes develop critical thinking abilities, as well as technical, communication and interpersonal skills. Our graduates are recruited by the ‘Big 4’, regional and small accounting firms, major corporations and governmental agencies.
Our faculty hold both advanced degrees and professional certifications such as CPA, CMA and CFE and have active relationships with the accounting profession. They publish in the Accounting Review, Journal of Forensic Accounting, Issues in Accounting Education, the CPA Journal, Journal of Accountancy, Strategic Finance and other prestigious academic and professional journals.
We have three active student organizations: Beta Alpha Psi, which is the national honor society in Accounting, Finance and Computer Information Science, the Accounting Society and the Institute of Management Accountants. These organizations meet frequently and provide our students with opportunities to network with accounting and finance professionals. Our Accounting Advisory Council provides linkages to the profession for faculty and students and guides us in curriculum issues.
This website provides information about our programs, faculty, student organizations, and professional certification requirements. If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact me.
