The Accounting minor provides students with a strong academic foundation in the field of accounting which will serve as a basis for further advanced study in accounting at the graduate level. It is anticipated that students who declare the accounting minor will continue their accounting education by enrolling in the MBA program in order to prepare themselves for the Uniform Certified Public Accountancy exam and a career in public accounting.

Minor Requirements


Students may apply to the accounting minor at any time during their academic career provided that their cumulative grade point average is 3.20 or higher. Non-business majors may complete the accounting minor.

Completion of the minor requires 18 credits.

Courses


All courses must be taken for a letter grade and passed with a grade of C or higher. 

Transfer Credit Policy


Students may apply a maximum of nine transfer credits toward the Accounting Minor.
