Required 会计 课程:
Other general requirements:
- Completion of an approved study abroad experience or the successful completion of a modern foreign language course numbered 2302 or its equivalent.
- Completion of all other required elements of the Pathways curriculum 和 at least 120 credit hours.
注:
- Although not a requirement for the major, the norm is that students complete a paid internship (acct - 4097, acct - 4397, acct - 4697) during their senior year. Because the sequencing of courses is critical for students to be able to do so 和 to otherwise complete the academic requirements for the B.S. degree in four years, the following guidance is provided:
- 第一年 & 2: 学生应报名参加 acct - 1301, acct - 1302. Students are strongly encouraged to wait until at least the spring semester of 第一年 to enroll in acct - 1301. Students who intend to study abroad as a part of their major requirements should plan on completing study abroad prior to their junior year or during the summer.
- 小约翰尼: 〇秋季学期 acct - 3341, acct - 3443; Spring semester – acct - 3342, acct - 3444.
- 高级: 〇秋季学期 acct - 4345, acct - 4444; Spring semester – acct - 4097, acct - 4397, acct - 4697*, busn - 4301 和 an Upper Division 会计 Elective.
- Note that a student intern will be enrolled for a maximum of 12 hours during the spring semester of their senior year. Spring internships are typically full time 和 run from early January until mid-March. Upon completion of the internship, 和 assuming additional credit hours/courses are still needed to graduate, students 五月 take an additional six credit hours that will be offered in an accelerated mini-mester. Typically, the only courses offered in the mini-mester are busn - 4301 和 an upper division 会计 elective. 因此, it is imperative that a minimum of 108 credit hours have been completed by the end of the fall semester senior year 和 that the two courses listed above are the only remaining courses necessary to complete degree requirements.
- Prospective students should also note that the State of Texas requires that a CPA c和idate complete a minimum of 150 credit hours in order to become certified. This major only partially satisfies those educational requirements. The Department of 会计 in the Neidorff School of Business offers a two-semester Master of Science in 会计 degree program which, in combination with the B.S. in accounting, completes the credit hour 和 course requirements for CPA certification. Students interested in learning more about the accounting program should contact the Chair of the Department of 会计 for additional information.
*Depending upon additional hours needed to meet the 120 total credit hours required to graduate.
For full admission to any Neidorff School of Business major (B.Sc. 或B.A.), students must first complete the following courses from the core business curriculum with grades of C or better:
注:系主任 五月 grant provisional acceptance if it is apparent that an applicant can meet the requirements for full acceptance by the end of the semester in which application is made.
