Elective Courses

For students wishing to expand their knowledge beyond the minimum degree requirements, Advanced Taxes will be available as an elective in the senior year. Students in the MBA/BBA (5-year) program area are required to take Advanced Taxes in their senior year rather than Business Policy.
 


5-year Program - B.B.A / M.B.A. 

  1. A "3 + 2" structure is used. All accounting majors follow the same plan of studies through the fall semester of their junior year.  Students admitted to the five-year program take ACCT 404 in the spring semester of their junior year.
  2. Students will apply for admission to the five-year program by December of their junior year. The criteria for admission to the program include satisfactory performance in undergraduate coursework, as determined by GPA, and on the Graduate Management Admissions test.
  3. The BBA degree and the MBA degree are awarded at the end of the fifth year.
