How important is an accounting major?

College Majors Business Majors

<p>I’m interested in both liberal arts and business. It would be great if I end up with a career that combines these two fields. I’ve taken accounting classes in high school, won statewide awards, top 13% at a very competitive high school in MD. I’m looking at business schools off some of the top 50 rankings list.
I found that schools like UVA and UMich don’t have an accounting major, only Business Adm/Management.
Should I take similar schools off my list? I know that these are both GREAT schools and I’m not entirely sure that I want to go into accounting, but I’d like to have that option.</p>

<p>Thanks! :slight_smile: Happy holidays!</p>

<p>you misunderstood. these are majors in business administration, yes, but you choose a focus- finance, accounting, amangement, marketing, accoutning, supply chain, op[erations, the lsit goes on and on at some schools. Keep those wschools on your list, indefinietly.</p>
