Accounting Minor (BACT)

A Minor You Can Count on

Accounting is involved in a wide variety of careers.  RIT undergraduate students from outside the Saunders College of Business will gain analytical and organizational skills that are an integral part of the accounting minor.  Business students completing a major in something other than accounting will broaden their learning experiences and professional opportunities by having more depth in operational accounting topics.
