Introduction & Educational Objectives
The objective of the program of studies in accounting is
to prepare students to make a smooth transition from college
into a successful and meaningful career in the professional
practice of accounting, whether it be in public, private,
or governmental accounting. Because of the professional aspects
of accounting, equal emphasis is placed upon general education
in the arts and humanities and the functioning of business
enterprises, as well as the basic underlying concepts of accounting.
Degree Programs
An Accounting major can earn either a Bachelor of Business
Administration (BBA) or a Bachelor of Science in Business
Administration (BSBA) by meeting the appropriate School of
Business Administration requirements.
Major
The undergraduate curriculum consists of 24 semester hours
of Accounting and three semester hours of Business Law beyond
the Business Foundation and the Professional Core requirements.
The following courses are required:
ACC301 ACC402
ACC306 ACC403
ACC311 ACC404
ACC312 ACC 411
BSL301
To continue as an accounting major, a student must have
a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher in accounting
before enrolling in ACC312.
Minor
The Department of Accounting allows business students to
earn a minor in accounting. In addition to the general requirements
for all business minors, business students wishing to minor
in accounting must complete ACC301, ACC311 and ACC403.
Florida CPA Exam
Persons who wish to become Certified Public Accountants in
Florida and most other states are required to complete at
least 30 semester hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. Accordingly,
many of our graduates satisfy the 30 semester hours requirement
for the CPA by continuing on for a fifth year during which
time they also can complete the requirements for either the
Master of Professional Accounting or Master of Science in
Taxation degree. Students interested in these programs should
consult with the Program Director within the Department of
Accounting.
