This four year plan results in graduation with 120 credits, but does NOT satisfy all eligibility requirements for taking the CPA exam (150 credit hours are required)! Students interested in pursuing the CPA certification are encouraged to consider the combined or ABM BAcc/MAcc programs and view the related 4+1 year (i.e., 5-year) plan.
1 The BAcc program requires at least 3 credits of experiential learning which may be satisfied with credits earned in ACCT 160 (intro to Accounting Careers), ACCT 397 (Cooperative Education), ACCT 417 (Service Learning in Accounting with VITA), ACCT 497 (Accounting Internship), and/or other courses with the approval of the Accountancy Department Chair. These credits may be earned at any time during the accounting program, and by a combination of credits earned in multiple courses. While not required, students are encouraged to consider internship opportunities, including those that may be full-time. Please contact the Department of Accountancy Internship Director for more information about internships).
Every student must fulfill all University, Departmental, and Essential Studies requirements. Please note that some Accounting and College of Business & Public Administration courses included in this plan may satisfy Essential Studies requirements.
