Bachelor of Science in Accounting + Master of Business Administration (3+2)
The accounting program also offers an option of a five year (3+2) program which allows students to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and a Master of Business Administration. This combination provides students with the opportunity to earn the hours required to be licensed as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Through careful planning and coordination, students can complete their four-year degree and begin their graduate degree, finishing both simultaneously. For more information, please see 3+2 Program.
