Jorge:
In the U.S. , at the university, generally one earns a bachelor's degree in business administration with a major/ or a degree in the field, or perhaps in your case, accounting, therefore a bachelor's degree in accounting.
"Public accounting" generally reflects your work experience in an industry such as public accounting (as opposed to corporate accounting, non-profit accounting, etc)

The certified public accountant CPA designation is awarded by a state professional society, not a university, with continuing professional education requirements.
