The Bachelor of Arts in Accounting is a 120 credits degree program, with 42 credits earned towards the major, at the School of Business. This degree is for students who are interested in accounting but may not have the intention of becoming a C.P.A. This program emphasizes a broader liberal arts education and allows students to complete a major in accounting (with fewer accounting and business credits than traditional B.S. in accounting). As this degree is designed as a liberal arts degree while focusing on accounting, additional coursework would be required for B.A. students who want to become licensed as a C.P.A.
