Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting
Degree Requirements
The University offers both a four-year B.B.A. and a five-year B.B.A./M.B.A. option for students considering a degree in accounting. The four-year, 120 credit hour B.B.A. degree is appropriate for students who wish to pursue:
- Professional certification, such as a certified management accountant (CMA), certified internal auditor (CIA), and certified financial planner (CFP), for which an undergraduate degree is sufficient, or
- A career in accounting or related field for which no certification is required.
Students who wish to pursue the certified public accountant (CPA) certification, which necessitates 150 semester credit hours, can obtain the required credit hours at the University by:
- Completing the five-year B.B.A./M.B.A. degree,
- Completing the M.S.F. degree (see Graduate School), or
- Obtaining additional credit hours while at the University through summer school or additional coursework during the regular academic year.
