Accounting 

The Accounting curriculum prepares students for career opportunities as professionals in the areas of corporate, industrial, government, nonprofit and public accounting. The program provides students with a sound theoretical foundation as well as practical business experience opportunities, such as internships and use of technology. Many of our graduates choose to take the CPA Exam and are well-prepared to do so. Students should visit the NASBPA website for state-specific CPA exam eligibility requirements to ensure preparedness for post-graduation plans. 

Accelerated BSBA-to-MAcc

Eligible students may earn two degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) and a Master of Science in Accountancy (MAcc) in five years. Students in the Accelerated BSBA-to-MAcc program take the same courses as a traditional accounting major but complete their undergraduate academic requirements in seven semesters. Accelerated BSBA-to-MAcc students will spend their eighth semester completing a compensated Co-op experience. Students in the program do not register for academic coursework nor pay tuition during their Co-op semester. Students admitted to the MAcc program complete that coursework in their final two semesters.

Eligibility is limited to freshman or sophomore students. Once admitted, students must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 3.3 and accounting GPA of 3.3 to stay in the BSBA-MAcc program and be Co-op eligible.

Required Courses 

A Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (B.S.B.A.) requires a minimum of 120 earned credits, 51 of which must be from the Business Core courses. 

Students entering the School of Business are expected to inform their Student Success Coach about their career objectives and their desired major(s) and minor(s) and to consult with them when planning their program of study. The student's curriculum path must include the requirements of their specific major (listed below), University Bridge courses, and Business School Core courses.
