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 among other state-specific requirements, can meet the Oregon requirements by:
- Completing the five-year B.B.A./M.B.A. degree, or
- Completing the M.S.F. degree or M.S.O.T.M. (see Graduate School).
Students also can obtain the additional credit hours while at the University through summer school or additional coursework during the regular academic year. Since requirements for CPA exams are governed by individual states, students who choose this option should elect courses that meet the requirements of the state where they plan to become licensed.
