BBA - Accounting

The role of accountants in business continues to evolve with the accelerating demands of a global economy. While traditional skills will always be in demand, accountants are now required to supplement their financial expertise with technical and communication skills. The next generation of accountants will need the knowledge and ability to analyze financial information and convert those results into predictive tools. Ultimately, successful businesses are managed by financial information. No one is better prepared or qualified to produce, analyze, and interpret that information than an accountant.

In order to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant Examination, students are required to have 36 hours of accounting, all of which are available in the HSU curriculum. Students must also have 150 total hours of academic credit from an accredited institution; that is, 26 hours beyond the 124 hours required for the B.B.A. degree.
