Master of Business Administration - Accounting option
The MBA Accounting Option curriculum requirements are divided into three parts:
- foundation courses,
- undergraduate accounting courses, and
- graduate courses.
The undergraduate and foundation courses are designed to form a base upon which the student can build in the graduate phase of the program. A student who has satisfactorily completed one or more equivalent courses prior to entering the program will be given a waiver for previous work. A minimum grade of 'C' is required to satisfy each required undergraduate course.
