Accounting Major (BA Adult)
The Accounting BA prepares students for accounting careers in business, government or non-profit organizations. The major builds upon a strong liberal arts foundation and prepares students for professional certifications such as the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and the Certified Management Accountant (CMA). This program does not provide these certifications. Students interested in earning these certifications should check with their state’s CPA or CMA education requirements.
Students who intend to sit for the CPA exam must complete the Accounting degree with 150 credits, which will require an additional 30 credits of degree electives, with 45 of the 150 credits taken at the upper-level credit.
General Education Requirements
All degree seeking undergraduate students must complete the general education requirements.
