GAIN USEFUL SKILLS AND PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
The BBA in Accounting gives you a thorough understanding of how financial information is used by management, the government, and the public. You gain critical skills used by accountants in many career paths, including certified management accounting, management consulting, financial analysis, certified internal auditing, tax preparation for individuals, and treasury or cash management.
An Accounting BBA gives you the opportunity to specialize in another business discipline, such as information systems, finance, or managerial accounting. Students can complete the BBA degree in about four years with a total of 128 credits. (Because CPA licensing requires 150 credits, this program is not aimed to prepare students for the CPA examination. For CPA ready program, please see BBA in Public Accounting.)
The BBA in Accounting offers three concentrations:
- The Forensic Accounting concentration provides students with a solid accounting education and specialized training in the field of forensic accounting
- The Internal Auditing concentration provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue a career as an internal auditor
- The Open Elective option provides the opportunity to customize the program of study by selecting additional coursework in areas such as taxation, law, finance, information systems and management or other fields of interest
