Major Requirements
Students are required to take 32 ½ course units (=130 credits) to graduate with an accounting degree. Ten of these course units are in accounting. For students interested in the Certified Public Accountant’s (CPA) license, a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy qualifies students to take the CPA exam in the state of New Jersey. However, to be eligible for a CPA license, students must complete an additional five course units (equivalent to 20 credits) to satisfy the state-mandated 150-hour requirement. For this, a minor in one of the following areas is recommended: information systems technology, communication studies, psychology, computer science, international studies, criminology, or language.
The accountancy program, in addition to its major courses, requires all students to take a set of business and correlate courses. Furthermore, certain courses in the social sciences and history, and natural sciences and quantitative reasoning, in the college core component of the curriculum, are specified.
