As of Spring 2022, the Tallahassee campus is no longer accepting applications to our Accounting, Business, or Marketing programs. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to us by email at fctadmissions@flagler.edu.
What You'll Study
The Accounting curriculum will ensure that students receive a strong foundation in accounting, supporting coursework in finance, computing, marketing, money and banking, and economics. Accounting majors considering sitting for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) licensure exam are encouraged to complete a minor in finance.
Flagler College's current accounting curriculum is designed to meet the requirements to qualify to take the CPA examination (i.e., 120 hours), but not for licensure (i.e., 150 hours).

Students have the opportunity to pursue internships with private accounting firms, in the public sector, or in government.
