Frequently Asked Questions:

Question 1. I heard that you can overlap more credits then before between majors and am thinking about double majoring in Business Admin. and Accounting

Answer: For students still enrolled in the BBA program, you can just declare a double major -- general business and accounting.

Question 2: What amount of classes do I need, which ones, and are there overlapping of credits between majors?

Answer: The required accounting courses can NOT be used to meet the upper division business electives requirements for the general business degree, so you would need to take 18 credits of non-accounting courses, for a total of 121+18=139. That puts you that much closer to the 150 hours needed for the CPA. For people that have already graduated with a BBA, the rules in the university catalog for second degree programs will apply.
