Bachelor of Science in Accounting - CPA Track

Accounting is one of those areas where you get to be "something" once you've graduated. Whether you pursue the CPA or non-CPA track, being able to say you're an accountant will open doors for you in the future. In fact, there’s always a need for accountants, even when the economy takes a downturn. Doing something you like? Job security? Now that sounds like a good way to keep your career "in the black."

DEGREE OPTIONS

You can choose one of two tracks: CPA and non-CPA.

CPA TRACK

UIndy is an accredited university that qualifies graduates with 150 credit hours to take the CPA exam for public accountancy licensure in Indiana. To earn the additional 30 hours of credit over a 120-credit bachelor’s degree, you can choose to pursue the Accelerated BS/MBA Program or double major.

• Accelerated BS/MBA Program - earn both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in five years
• Double Major - pick a complementary major to earn the extra 30 credits; still finish in four years if you take summer classes.

NON-CPA TRACK

With a traditional four-year accounting degree, you can find jobs in private and governmental accounting and qualify for other professional certifications, including Certified Management Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor and Certified Fraud Examiner.

Study Option - Flexibility to pursue a 5-year (required to sit for the CPA exam) or a 4-year track.
