Pamplin School of Business: Accounting B.B.A.

The accounting program is structured to meet the needs of students pursuing either a four-year or five-year program. The four-year program is appropriate for:

Students who wish to pursue professional certification as a Certified Management Accountant (CMA), Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Certified Financial Planner, etc., where a four year degree is appropriate;
Students who may pursue Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification in the future but intend to work for a period of time before returning to complete the necessary education;
Students who wish to pursue a career in accounting or a related field that does not require certification.

The five-year program is most appropriate for students who intend to pursue CPA certification. Candidates writing the CPA exam in Oregon (and most other states) must have earned 150 semester credit hours. Any 30 additional semester hours (beyond the 120 required for the accounting major) will allow the student to the minimum requirements. It is strongly recomended that students choose among the following options:

The B.B.A./M.B.A. with a major in accounting;
A double major, for example, accounting and finance;
A major in accounting with one or more minors which enhance the student's skill set or match the student's interests, such as economics, psychology, fine arts, or foreign language.
