BSc Business Administration (Accounting)

The BSc Business Administration (Accounting) at Ghana Baptist University College prepares you for the world of numbers, finance, and business decision-making. As an accounting student, you will learn to prepare and interpret financial information, manage budgets, and understand how organisations work. This programme sits within the Business School and is a less competitive option compared to the same course at some other Ghanaian universities.

What business administration and accounting involve

Programmes of this kind typically blend broad business subjects like management, marketing, and economics with specialised accounting topics such as financial reporting, auditing, taxation, and cost control. You will build strong numerical and analytical skills, learn to use accounting software, and develop the ability to think ethically and strategically about money and business decisions. The degree aims to produce graduates who can keep accurate records, prepare financial statements, and advise organisations on their finances.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive to get into, which means your WASSCE grades do not need to be at the very top of the range to be considered. For comparison, the same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is highly competitive, while All Nations University also offers it as a less competitive option. You should still check the specific entry requirements at Ghana Baptist University College, but you can expect a more attainable admissions process than at the most sought-after universities.

What you can do with this degree

Most graduates go into accounting and finance roles, either in practice or within organisations. Typical jobs include accountant, auditor, tax consultant, financial analyst, or working in corporate finance. Many graduates also pursue professional qualifications like ACCA, ICA Ghana, or other certifications to advance their careers. The combination of business knowledge and accounting skills also opens doors in banking, consulting, and general management.
