THE DISCIPLINE:
Accounting has been called the language of
business. A good understanding of accounting
principles and practices can serve as the basis for
a career in any business field. Accountants
provide critical input and guidance in profit-seeking
organizations, service and charitable organizations,
educational institutions, government, public
accounting firms, and, indeed, any organization
that exists today.
PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE REQUIREMENTS:
Acceptance into the SOAIS is limited to fall
semester only, with one application deadline: last
working day of June. Application forms are on-line
and further information is available at the Marriott
School of Management Undergraduate Programs
Office. Acceptance is competitive, with a maximum
of 260 students accepted each year. Not all
students who meet minimum application
requirements are guaranteed entry.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:
Accounting graduates work in public accounting
firms, private industry, government agencies, and
retailing.
For more information on careers in your
major, please refer to From Major to Career, a
publication which is located in all college
advisement centers.
The following application requirements apply:
1. Have concurrent or prior acceptance to the
Marriott School of Management.
2. Earn B grades (minimum) in Acc 200 and 210;
or 201 and 202; and have a 3.0 minimum
average GPA in the following classes: Econ
110, Stat 221, M Com 320, I Sys 201.
BS ACCOUNTING, CONCURRENT WITH MAcc:
The first year of the SOAIS program must be
completed with a minimum 3.0 GPA to be eligible
to apply for continuation into the Master of
Accountancy Program. The undergraduate fourth
year (Integrated Management Core plus Bus M
498), P Mgt 385 and M Com 321 is replaced by the
Marriott School of Management graduate core plus
M B A 581, P Mgt 582, and MBA 509. Students
planning to pursue a master of accountancy degree
should not take the above noted classes.
Note 2: Upper-division accounting class credits
earned prior to five years before graduation may
not be used to meet specific graduation
requirements for the BS degree. This policy does
not affect the recognition of those hours earned to
satisfy total university credit.
Note 3: Students should have completed Acc 200
and 210 (or Acc 201 and 202) within two years of
beginning the accounting major (junior) core.
Note 1: If a student must leave the program for a
mission, internship, or other reason, a leave of
absence request form is required. A prompt return
to the program is required. Students who have
interrupted their SOAIS education for more than
two years without prior approval will be required to
meet the requirements of the program in effect at
re-acceptance.
*Note: The sequence of courses suggested may not fit the circumstances of every student. Students
should contact their
advisement center for help in outlining an efficient schedule.
^
Note: Probable availability. Please check with departments for current availability of all courses.
Note: This major requires a minimum of 123 hours for graduation. Students are encouraged to complete
an average of 15–16 credit hours each semester or 30–31 credit hours each year, which could include
spring and/or summer terms. Taking fewer credits substantially increases the cost and the number of
semesters to graduate.
