- BSBA Accounting Major (in-person)
-
The BSBA accounting major DOES NOT MEET the educational requirements for licensure in the state of Pennsylvania.
The accounting major provides students with the general business and accounting knowledge necessary to succeed in professional accounting roles.
In Pennsylvania, a CPA license will be granted only to individuals who have earned 150 or more university credits. There are multiple ways to achieve 150 credits during a student’s academic career, one of which is to continue their education in the Master of Science in Accounting Program (MAcc) offered by the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business.
Students planning to take the CPA exam in a state other than PA are responsible for contacting that state’s board of accountancy to be sure all necessary requirements have been fulfilled.
