Accounting
Two programs are available to students who wish to study accounting at the University. The first is the four-year major in accounting leading to the Bachelor of Business Administration degree. The second is the five-year integrated Master in Accountancy (MAcc), which simultaneously awards both the BBA and the MAcc degrees. The BBA is designed to provide students with the educational breadth of general education courses, a strong foundation in the common business core, and sufficient accounting education to achieve entry-level competencies for a career in industry.
