B.Ed Accounting

The B.Ed Accounting degree at Valley View University prepares you to teach accounting while giving you a strong foundation in education theory and practice. It is a less competitive degree to enter, making it a realistic option for many SHS leavers with an interest in both teaching and numbers. This page explains what the programme typically covers and the doors it can open.

What this programme usually involves

Programmes of this kind combine education courses with accounting subjects. On the education side, you will typically cover teaching methods, educational psychology, and classroom management. On the accounting side, expect financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, and auditing. The aim is to equip you with both the knowledge of accounting and the skills to teach it effectively to others.

How competitive a place is

This programme is less competitive than many other degree programmes, which means entry is more accessible for students who do not have the very highest WASSCE aggregates. However, you still need to meet Valley View University's specific entry requirements, so check your grades against the school's admissions criteria.

Where the degree can take you

The most common route for graduates is teaching accounting or business subjects in senior high schools, vocational schools, or private institutions. The degree also opens doors to educational administration, curriculum development, and teacher training. Some graduates use their accounting background to move directly into accountancy, auditing, or finance roles in the public or private sector.
