Well, if you will, anything can be hard.
You don’t find MLS hard, do you? Yet others think it is.
Accounting would be hard for me, because I love words and hate numbers… but I know some who love the precision in Accounting and dislike Humanities classes!
It all depends on what you like.
Accountants don’t deal with people a lot. They might get a phone call once in a while, but that’s not really what the job entails. In fact, there’s a stereotype of accountants not being “people persons” - think of the public persona of Harold Finch in Person Of Interest
How about you take Principles of Accounting, MicroEconomics, (have you taken statistics? Calculus 1?), Intro to Business, and a gen ed?
Since you attend a small school, it’s probably not accredited for accounting and you’ll likely have to get your 5th year/Master’s in accounting from an accredited institution, here:

A VERY GOOD college for accounting is Baruch College, but you’d need family in NYC for it to be cost-effective (tuition is only 15K/year, but housing is horribly expensive. So, if you have relatives/family, you’re good… if not, it’s harder to swing!)
Do you have an 8-semester, full tuition/full ride scholarship at your small school?
