Purpose
The BSBA specialization in accounting is accredited by the AACSB International-The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The undergraduate curriculum for a specialization in accounting is designed for the student who wants to prepare for a career as a professional accountant with industry, government, or nonprofit organizations or for public accounting practice as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Opportunities exist to work in such specialized areas as auditing, financial reporting, cost and managerial accounting, taxation, and information systems consulting.
BSBA General Degree Requirements
Students completing the accounting specialization must complete University, general degree, admission core, and business core requirements for the BSBA degree, including admission to the BSBA program. For students specializing in accounting, ECON 3110 is recommended to fill the professional core requirements. Those planning to take the CPA examination are advised to take LEGS 4010 rather than LEGS 3010 as part of the professional core.
Admission to the Accounting Specialization
Students who plan to obtain the BSBA degree with an accounting specialization should enroll in the pre-accounting program within the college. To enroll in upper-level accounting classes and gain admission to the specialization, a student must:
- Complete ACCT 2210 and ACCT 2220 with a grade of “C” or better in each;
- Complete a minimum of 51 semester hours of University credit;
- Attain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.6, including grades from all universities and colleges attended.
