Subject choices
To become a CPA you will need to include accounting subjects in your degree. Most degrees will give you the option to choose two major subjects.
No matter what major you decide to do as your first choice, backing that up with an accounting major will give you maximum flexibility. Accounting studies will be a great help to you no matter what business career you want to follow.
The accounting subjects you need to include to become a CPA after you graduate can be checked on this website.
The main degrees for a career in business are a Bachelor of Commerce or a Bachelor of Business degree. These two degrees usually mean the same thing — what they are called depends on the higher education provider.
Further information on the specific subjects you can choose will be available from your higher education provider.
