Our accounting programs — developed by professionals in the field

Globe University-Online offers four accounting programs: a bachelor’s degree, two associate degrees and a diploma. We developed these online accounting degrees with the help of a program advisory committee made up of accounting professionals. The members of the committee know from personal experience what skills are needed to be successful in the field. They also help us review the course content and degree requirements regularly to ensure that we are providing our students with the most up-to-date information and training.
