Program of Study

Students will be required to take 3 graduate course units in their senior year. Students must complete STAT 4450  , BAN 4550   and ACCT 5100  during their senior year. 

Students will then complete the remaining 8 units of graduate coursework in their 5th year of study. For more information on the MSAA program requirements, please visit Accounting Analytics, MSAA .

The BA/MSAA program requires a graduate level internship for all accelerated degree students. This internship must be completed as part of the MSAA program and by the time a student completes the degree requirements. Internships completed at the undergraduate level do not meet this requirement. No academic credit is awarded for the internship.

This program is eligible for a 100% tuition remission in a student’s graduate year if the student meets all accelerated degree requirements.
