  • Program Type: Baccalaureate
  • Requirements for this program are current for Fall 2017
  • Required credits to graduate with this degree: 120
  • Required credits within the major: 98
  • Degree: Bachelor of Accounting
The bachelor of accounting provides the core competencies in accounting and general business that are necessary for a successful accounting career. The program includes study in the following areas: financial accounting; management accounting; accounting information systems; financial, operational, and information systems auditing; and taxation. This accounting curriculum is combined with a foundation in the functional areas of business law, finance, information systems, marketing, operations, and management, as well as a broad general education, including the areas of the behavioral sciences, the humanities, English, communication, the arts, mathematics, and statistics. The primary professional certification in public accounting is the Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Most states, including Minnesota and Wisconsin, require students to complete 150 semester hours of education to become a licensed CPA. All 150 hours may be taken at the undergraduate level or a combination of undergraduate and graduate level courses may be used to satisfy this requirement. At UMD, students can combine their B.Acc. degree with an MBA from another major within LSBE such as the MIS, financial markets, or healthcare management; a minor from LSBE, such as financial planning or MIS; a minor from another collegiate unit, such as computer science, communications, or criminal justice; or additional undergraduate coursework in accounting, business, or other discipline such that the total equals or exceeds 150 hours. (Contact the Department of Accounting for additional information.) Other types of professional certifications for accountants in private industry do not require 150 hours of education. The Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certificate is issued by the Institute of Management Accounting. The Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) certificate is issued by the Institute of Internal Auditors. The B.Acc. degree program also serves as basic preparation for both the CMA and CIA examinations. A number of active learning opportunities are available to students in UMD's accounting program. ACCT 3796 Internship in Accounting allows students to apply knowledge and skills gained in the classroom to real-world accounting problems through work experience in sponsoring businesses. Most internships offer a salary, as well as the opportunity to earn credits through a supervised work experience. Another opportunity, ACCT 3705 Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, gives students a general understanding of the U.S. individual income tax system, while providing a valuable service learning experience by assisting low-income clientele with tax planning and compliance. Finally, in ACCT 3701 Student to Business Initiative in Accounting, students working in teams are matched with local small business that need accounting assistance. Students define the specific scope of work with the business owner and then serve as a "consultant" to the business. At the end of the semester, students present the results of their work at the UMD Center for Economic Development offices. Program Honors: Degree candidates must earn a 3.30 GPA in all LSBE upper division courses
Program Delivery
This program is available:
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
Admission Requirements
Freshman and transfer students are usually admitted to pre-major status before admission to this major.
A GPA above 2.0 is preferred for the following:
  • 2.60 already admitted to the degree-granting college
  • 2.60 transferring from another University of Minnesota college
  • 2.60 transferring from outside the University
Freshmen and transfer students are typically admitted as pre-accounting students for the B.Acc. degree. Admission to candidacy status, which allows access to upper division LSBE courses, typically occurs at the junior level when students have successfully completed all pre-major (pre-candidacy) course requirements and met all of the GPA standards. Students with a 2.60 UM and overall, 2.00 internal and pre-major GPAs are admitted upon completion of pre-major courses; students with a 2.00-2.59 UM and overall, 2.00 internal and pre-major GPAs are pooled and reviewed for evidence of academic success in LSBE majors. Students who do not qualify for admission to candidacy may not take upper division LSBE courses (excluding some economics courses) without permission of the director of student affairs.
