Accounting plays a vital role in the business and investment decisions made by the management, owners and creditors of organizations. Because of this important role, accounting has become known as the “language of business.”
The Accounting Program at The University of Scranton offers students an
opportunity to satisfy education requirements for various professional
accounting certifications, including the Certified Public Accountant and the
Certified Management Accountant. For students interested in becoming a CPA in
states requiring 150 credit hours of education, a combined Bachelor of
Science/Master of Business Administration Degree program is available.
The success of our graduates is demonstrated by their job placements. Alumni are employed by Big
Four, regional, and local public accounting firms, by many notable firms in private industry, as well as by governmental and not-for-profit organizations. Students have opportunities for on-the-job training through our internship program.
Combined Bachelor of Science/Master of Business Administration Degree Program
The Accounting Department of the University of Scranton offers interested and qualified students the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting and a Masters of Business Administration degree with an accounting specialization. While this program may benefit any student interested in the accounting discipline, the program was developed in response to the adoption by most states of a 150-credit-hour educational requirement to become a Certified Public Accountant. With judicious course scheduling, most students can complete the program within five academic years.
Students interested in this BS/MBA degree program should apply to The Graduate School as prescribed by The Graduate School Catalog as early as December of their junior year at The University of Scranton. Criteria for acceptance into the combined program include the student’s previous academic performance, GMAT score, letters of recommendation and statement of purpose.
Students must adhere to The Graduate School Catalog requirements. |
