Our program trains students to quantify, analyze and evaluate economic and financial information, utilizing universal financial tools.

Accounting professions are now, more than ever, the nerve center of any organization or private business. Accounting and supervision activities have profound economic and financial implications, from the smallest of transactions to billions. Specialization in economics and accounting provides skills required for collecting, sorting, recording, analyzing and auditing financial information and economic data, preparing students for a career in accounting.

The College provides a postgraduate fourth year track approved by Israel's CPA Board, offering exam prep courses in financial accounting and auditing. Our alumni are among the highest scoring grades in Israel's national CPA exams.
