Notes on the Accounting requirements:

  • At least half of the accounting (ACCT) courses must be taken at the College.
  • Students must pay careful attention to course prerequisites; not doing so could delay progress through the program.
  • Accounting majors may not declare a minor in management.

For students majoring in accounting, all courses designated as accounting courses (ACCT) that may be applied to the major are included in the determination of the grade point average in the major.
