Accounting
Accounting knowledge can enhance your understanding of any organization and help you stand out across a variety of career paths. The Accounting minor enables Fisher students and students throughout the university to build competency in accounting while complementing their primary area of study.
The minor consists of at least 15 credit hours, including three required courses and two electives. No application or Fisher approval is required, but students are encouraged to declare the minor early by notifying their academic advisor so it can be added to their academic record and tracked through the degree audit system.
