Accounting is a specialized major that prepares students to
interact actively in today's business environment by putting accounting
theories and principles into practice in a variety of institutions. The
accounting department offers a 132-credit-hour integrated curriculum. The
syllabus includes University, Faculty, and Department requirements
to provide
students with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to work in various
administrative positions in public and private sector companies in various
fields (i.e. internships, finance, consulting, and auditing).
As a result, students can confidently pursue higher education
or a professional career. The new course syllabus, which has been in place
since 2006 and is regularly updated, focuses on improving students' skills in
Accounting in general, and also their computer skills and English language in
particular; additionally, it is concerned with academic research, which has
been made mandatory since 2019.
The Accounting Department modules are taught in Arabic and
English, depending on the student's track when applying to their bachelor’s
program. Computer labs are available to use when necessary, based on course
modules, with all necessary specialized accounting programs or other research
databases available. Furthermore, in 2006, the department passed the education
quality test for accounting departments in Jordanian universities.
The Al Hussein Fund for Excellence's experts praised the
department's curriculum. The department received excellent scores on the university competency test
when compared to other universities, and it was ranked third among Jordan's
seventeen universities and academic institutions, outperforming most public and
private universities in Jordan, earning the department's graduates an excellent
reputation and assisting them in advancing their careers.
