Accounting Majors Course Sequencing

Effective 19-Aug-2013

Notes:

1. For the completion of an undergraduate degree, only one accounting elective is required.  However, the Ohio requirements to sit for the uniform CPA exam require 24 hours of upper division accounting.  Taking two of the elective courses could fulfill this requirement.

2. Any of the electives not taken at the undergraduate level can be completed at the graduate level as part of the MSA.
