Accounting courses are not only for accounting majors.

Accounting courses can significantly benefit non accounting majors who pursue careers in business, government and other organizations. Most, if not all, organizations use accounting information to make business decisions. In 1992 The Accounting Education Change Commission stated:

Students will be better prepared for their responsibilities if they understand the role of accounting information in decision-making by managers, investors, government regulators, and others.
