Majors: Accounting (BBA) 

               Financial Management (BBA)

The Department of Accounting and Finance offers the Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting and in financial management.

The Master of Accountancy degree is available as a separate graduate degree or as part of the Integrated BBA/MAcc degree as described below. See the Graduate School section of this catalog for information on the Master of Accountancy degree.

Integrated Plan – Accounting (BBA) and Master of Accountancy (MAcc)
Students planning to enter the Master of Accountancy program may choose to apply for entry into the Integrated Plan. The Integrated Plan allows students to take a limited number of MAcc courses during their senior year and eliminates the 6 hours of accounting or finance electives from the BBA degree requirements. Students must complete all other BBA requirements of the accounting degree and also must complete the 30 hours of the MAcc degree. The Integrated Plan requires 152 hours of course work and satisfies the 150-hour regulations for students wanting to take the Uniform CPA exam.

Students should take note of the following provisions of the Integrated Plan:

1. Entry into the plan is by application and must be approved by the department chair and the graduate dean.
2.  A student’s BBA degree will not be awarded until satisfactory completion of 15 hours in the MAcc program.
3. A student in the plan may participate in undergraduate commencement exercises during the semester in which all BBA requirements other than the 6 hours of accounting and finance electives are fulfilled.

Study Abroad Expectations
All students are encouraged to participate in ACU’s Study Abroad program. Classes offered at Study Abroad sites vary depending on the site. Academic advisors can assist students in planning ahead for their Study Abroad experience and should be consulted during the freshman year.
