Note

*The 500-level accounting courses are open to undergraduate accounting majors during their senior year with the permission of the Faculty Coordinator for the Masters of Accounting Program.

Because of specific examination requirements, students who plan to take a professional accounting examination (CPA, CMA or CIA) should discuss their options with an accounting faculty member before enrolling in 400-level accounting courses. The Master of Accounting degree program provides for 30 credits of accounting and related course work. Undergraduate students will be able to apply to the program during the fourth year of their undergraduate program. With the completion of 158 credits of undergraduate and graduate course work students will graduate with a Bachelor of Science with a major in accounting and a Master of Accounting. Students are encouraged to seek advising from the Faculty Coordinator of the Masters of Accounting Program if they are considering this option.

Students planning to sit for the CPA Examination should be aware that the State of Michigan (and most other states) requires a minimum of 150 credit hours to become a Certified Public Accountant. The requirement will be satisfied by completing the Master of Accounting degree program. While the MAcc program is recommended, additional undergraduate courses may also satisfy the 150 credit hour requirement. An adviser should be consulted if this option is selected.
