Our undergraduate Accounting degree requires students to complete 122 semester hours. While our program focuses on the full-time day student, we offer every accounting
course at night at least once every two years. We encourage our undergraduates to
stay and complete their Master of Accounting degree in order to earn the 150 semester
hours needed to be a licensed CPA.
