Accounting Combined Program (B.B.A./M.P.A.)

Accounting majors meeting requirements for entry into the MPA program may complete both the B.B.A.-Accounting and the M.P.A. concurrently. With the approval of the M.P.A. Director, five credits of graduate coursework (BADM 582 Business Policy and Strategy and two credits of graduate electives) can also be used to meet undergraduate requirements thus reducing the minimum number of undergraduate credits to 123 rather than 128. Students who graduate at the end of the M.P.A. program are presented both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. The minimum number of credits to achieve both degrees is 153. Students must complete the requirements of the M.P.A. program in accordance with the graduate catalog. Students completing their junior level accounting courses or starting their senior level accounting courses are encouraged to discuss this option with their advisors and the M.P.A. Director.
