Mission:
Our mission is to provide value-added accounting education, conduct research that improves accounting practice and instructional development, and provide service to the profession, university, and Gulf Coast Region constituencies. Our graduates should have the requisite accounting and information technology skills to become the future ethical leaders of the accounting profession.

▼   Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a major in Accounting (BSBA)
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.
▼   Master of Accounting (MAcc)
Our Master of Accounting program is designed for both the full-time student and working professional. MAcc students are required to complete 30 semester hours. Beginning in fall 2018 the program will be entirely online. A full-time student can graduate in one calendar year while a part-time student can complete the program in two years. Students are admitted to the program in both the Fall and Spring semesters.
