USI's accounting degree gives you a competitive advantage in the job market
From the entertainment industry to nonprofits to government agencies, accounting expertise is always in demand. Often called the language of business, accounting is essential to every organization—and professionals fluent in it are highly valued.
The Romain College of Business accounting program is known for its excellence and innovation, pairing expert faculty with a challenging, cutting-edge curriculum. Our mission is simple: to give you an outstanding learning experience and prepare you to become the kind of highly trained accounting professional that regional and national employers actively seek.
Our students don’t just learn in the classroom—they shine on the national stage. USI accounting teams have consistently excelled in business case competitions, including earning finalist and championship placements at the prestigious Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) Student Case Competition.
USI’s accounting program also carries the gold standard of quality—special accreditation in accounting from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Fewer than 200 accounting programs worldwide hold this distinction, setting USI apart as one of the nation’s top programs.
The University of Southern Indiana Romain College of Business is accredited in both undergraduate and graduate programs from the AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. This distinction for both undergraduate and graduate programs has been accorded to only select institutions internationally.
The USI Accounting program has earned a separate accreditation from the AACSB International, a distinction shared by only select accredited institutions. Currently fewer than 200 business schools worldwide have earned AACSB accreditation in both their business and accounting programs.
Our graduates are achieving amazing things and making a difference in the world.
Parker Collignon '22, accounting and economics, and Marshall Gruber '20 accounting and management were recognized at the Indiana CPA Society annual CPA Celebration event for being High-Grade Award Winners for 2022. That means both Parker and Marshall received one of the top 10 cumulative scores in the state of Indiana for the CPA exam.
“It is an honor to be recognized for this award, and I owe it to the Romain College of Business," said Parker, an Audit Associate at Deloitte in Indianapolis. "The course rigor, the nice balance between theory/fundamentals and real-world applications and having professors that held me accountable has helped me to excel in both my CPA exams and my career. Ultimately, a USI education has given me the confidence I’ve needed to succeed as a young professional.”
Marshall, a Senior Tax Associate at CohnReznick LLP, remarked that, "I can’t thank USI and the Romain College of Business enough for preparing me for my career and for the CPA exam. Dr. Brett Bueltel, Associate Professor of Accounting, and Jeanette Maier-Lytle, Instructor in Accounting, in particular were fantastic, and they clearly have a passion for accounting and preparing students for a successful career in business.”
