Curriculum
Curriculum Sequence

The accounting curriculum meets both the short- and long-range needs of students who wish to enter the accounting profession. The program will prepare the student for entry into public accounting, corporate, or institutional sectors (e.g., government and not-for-profit). The main requirements for the Accounting BSB include an option for a specialization in Tax, Certified Management Accounting, and Forensic Accounting. Specializations are NOT required to be selected by the student and the main Accounting BSB Requirements allow a candidate to meet all the requirements needed to sit for the CPA examination, independent of any specialization.
