BS/MBA in Accounting

The DeSales Accelerated BS/MBA Degree Program provides a competitive advantage for entry into the accounting profession while meeting education requirements for CPA licensure. In most states, accounting students are required to complete 150 hours of education, obtain relevant accounting experience, and successfully complete the CPA exam to receive a CPA license.

Accounting students interested in this program can complete the requirements for both the BS in Accounting and the MBA degrees in four and one-half years. At the end of their junior year, accounting students with at least a 3.0 GPA are eligible for the program.
