NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN! haha, the only word I know in german, except Shi***coff. haha.

Firstly. I would double check to see if they really offer an accounting minor, I know personally my school doesn’t because an accounting Minor is a wasted cost (you can’t sit for CPA) so whats the point on a minor?.

Therefore, I would point to finance. This will focus more on the environment of the corporate side and might even have a basic accounting course in it. It should teach you about how to read the balance sheet and financial statement.

If you can’t read those, then your going to be in trouble in the corporate world (at least that 's what my professors say, and what do they know?).

Good luck on your decision.
