About the Department

The Department of Accounting, Finance, and Economics provides UNK students with the financial and legal environmental knowledge necessary to compete in competitive, global careers in an ever-changing business environment.

At UNK, students benefit from a low student to faculty ratio that allows for personalized instruction and small class sizes. Business faculty bring decades of real-world experience into their classes, mentoring students, and helping them reach their educational and career goals.

The College of Business and Technology fosters connections with businesses, schools, and governmental organizations across Nebraska and beyond, creating competitive scholarship programs, internship opportunities, and career connections.

“I love the professors who teach at UNK. I could try and name a few, but I would just end up listing every professor in the department since each one of them made a significant impact on my professional career. I also love that each class is hands-on and we are getting to solve problems and scenarios that I could end up encountering someday.”

Program Partners

Our Accounting Program Partners play an essential role in supporting and enriching the student experience throughout the program. Their generous funding not only helps facilitate a variety of student events such as firm tours, networking opportunities, bus trips, etiquette dinners, and more, but also contributes significantly to student scholarships. These scholarships are crucial for both retaining our current accounting students and attracting new talent to the program.
