It is possible to get into accounting with a degree from UCSC because they offer an econ business management degree. If you aspire to get into public accounting and get a CPA license, you probably need to take courses outside of UCSC, i.e., extension courses or courses at a community college if there is a gap.

A person I know from UCSC, who did a summer internship at my company 2 years ago, recently started working at Deloitte, a Big 4 public accounting firm. In a CA Society of CPA’s magazine article, a featured person, graduated from UCSC about 10 years ago in bus. management econ. from UCSC, also took extension and additional community college courses where the person was short. This person became a CPA by working at at Big 4 firm, got a PhD at UW and is now on the faculty at Stanford’s graduate business school.

In summary, the accounting goal can be achieved with hard work.
