    Online BA Programs in Accounting

    A BA, or Bachelor of Arts, is a four-year academic degree that takes a broad look at a particular field. A typical BA includes core courses in science and the arts in order to provide you with a well-rounded education.

    More specifically, what is a BA in Accounting? Accounting is an area of economic study that looks at processing, measuring and communicating information relating to finances. You only need a high school diploma or equivalent award to start this degree program, but an interest in finances and mathematics helps. Some courses within this program include logistics, financial strategy, statistics, financial reporting, international economics and taxation laws.

    Studying accounting can help you learn skills such as logic, reading comprehension and personal budgeting. Logic and reading comprehension can make leisure reading more enjoyable and enriching, while the ability to handle your personal budget can save you money.

    When making a budget for your bachelor's degree, consider that the cost varies according to the school you choose. Other factors affecting cost include whether you attend full-time or part-time and the availability of online courses.

    With a degree in accounting, you may qualify for many different financial jobs. Within the government sector, you could look for job titles such as accountant, financial forecaster and market watchdog. Businesses often have an accounting or financial department where you could apply for a job working directly with numbers or managing those who do. Other business areas that hire accounting graduates include sales, retail, human resources and marketing.
