In my college, you can have a B.A. in Accounting, and you can have one in Business Administration: Finance. I was just wondering what the difference between the two is? Thanks for your help!
Also, which major would most likely get me a job when I graduate?

    The difference is on the concentration like the name suggest. BA in Accounting would focus your knowledge on financial accounting standards, rules technique from beginner/intermediate to advance, auditing, cost management accounting, controllership ONLY basic to intermediate financial management. While the other would focus on basic/ intermediate accounting, intro to Cost accounting then basic to advance financial management, stock market etc.

    Both

    Cheers…
