Northwestern University School of Continuing Studies has assembled a core of courses in accounting, economics, finance, and marketing that will help satisfy goals for educational and professional development. The course offerings in this program prepare students for the core curriculum of many graduate business school programs. These "business building blocks" can give students an advantage in the competitive environment of graduate business study.

Effective June 1, 2007, the accounting curriculum at the School of Continuing Studies has changed. The changes reflect national trends in accounting education. They are based upon a study of top-tier accounting schools, as well as the recommendations of an advisory committee that included SCS faculty, industry professionals, a Kellogg School of Management accounting professor, and the chair of the Illinois Board of Examiners, which is responsible for the CPA exam.
