BBA/MBA Program

Candidates who plan to sit for the CPA exam in Oregon (and most other states) must have completed 150 semester credit hours before taking the test. To provide these students with the necessary hours, the Pamplin School of Business has developed a separate five-year BBA/MBA program that allows students to complete both degrees (120 semester credit hour BBA and 30 semester credit hour MBA) in five years.

This abbreviated MBA program is intended only for students who will be completing their undergraduate accounting degree including taking BUS 465 and BUS 466. The latter are cross-listed as graduate courses, thus making the program the equivalent of 36 hours. Because specific requirements for CPA licensing vary by state, students should review their state’s CPA requirements.

Program Requirements

Students should note that the BBA/MBA is composed of two separate programs. Undergraduate financial aid and scholarships do not continue in the MBA program. However, financial aid is available for the graduate program. Please read the program requirements for specific courses and grade point averages needed.
