The combined five year program leading to a B.S. degree in Accounting

seeking admission to the Uniform C.P.A. Examination.
Admission
Admission to the program is granted at the end of the student's junior

Applicants to the program should have a minimum of 2.6/4.0 undergraduate
G.P.A. and an acceptable score on the Graduate Management Aptitude test.
Each participant must submit two letters of reference in addition to the
transcripts and examination reports required. The admissions committee
will review applications and provide recommendations to the graduate dean.
Admission procedures are delineated in the Admissions section of the Graduate
catalog.

the candidate's academic performance. Evidence of graduate level ability
and a cumulative average of 3.0 or better is required to qualify for the
awarding of degree candidacy status.
Transfer Credit
Up to six semester hours of accredited and approved graduate work may
be transferred from other graduate programs of study.
