The program's design frequently allows students to earn credentials in multiple domains while staying on-track for graduation in four years.
Accounting
https://www.uwplatt.edu/program/accounting
The accounting major is designed to prepare students for careers in public accounting, industry, or governmental agencies. Completion of the program provides the academic preparation to pursue one or both of the primary professional certifications in accounting:
- Certified Management Accountant (CMA) - The Institute of Management Accountants' CMA credential demonstrates professional skill in converting accounting information into managerial insights and action.
- Certified Public Accountant (CPA) - The American Institute of Certified Public Accounts' 150-credit rule to sit for the CPA exam creates a unique opportunity for accounting students at UW-Platteville. The School of Business offers an Integrated Bachelor's to Master's arrangement where students may begin taking graduate coursework in the latter portion of their program so that, upon approximately five years of coursework, students will graduate with a B.B.A. in Accounting, an M.S. in one of UW-Platteville's award-winning masters programs, and sufficient credits to sit for the CPA exam.

Students complete nine credits of management courses that are relevant to any field and then are permitted to choose nearly any course from the School of Business. The program is designed to accommodate the true generalist who wants some advanced coursework in a wide range of areas or the student who needs a hyper-specialized curriculum for a niche career path.

Efficiency is the primary focus of supply chain management. SCM makes sure that everything coming into the company is efficiently used and that products going out meet quality standards and are delivered in a timely manner. Without effective SCM, company costs would skyrocket and your two-day shipping wouldn't be possible.
