Accounting, B.A.
The accounting major provides a broad study of financial and management accounting principles and applications, as well as a selection of key business courses to enhance the student’s analytical and decision-making skills. The curriculum will prepare students for careers in public accounting, in business and in not-for-profit organizations. It will also provide a solid foundation for further graduate study.
The accounting degree is a 124-hour program. Students interested in sitting for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) examination must complete a minimum of 150 hours of college credit. These extra hours can be completed through additional undergraduate or graduate level studies. Students are encouraged to work with their advisor in understanding the specific requirements of the state in which they plan to practice.
