Bachelor of Business Administration/ Master of Business Administration
in Accounting with Forensic/Fraud Emphasis
The joint B.B.A./M.B.A. degree in accounting with an emphasis in forensic/fraud accounting is designed for the student who desires both an undergraduate degree in forensic/fraud accounting and an advanced degree specializing in forensic/fraud accounting. Students who complete the joint B.B.A./M.B.A. degree program also meet the 150-credit-hour requirement to be licensed as a CPA upon successful completion of the CPA examination and the experience requirement for certification. By meeting requirements for the two degrees simultaneously, the student may earn the B.B.A. and M.B.A. degrees in a shorter length of time than would be the case if each degree were pursued consecutively.
Applicants are initially admitted into the Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Business Administration and an Accounting Concentration with Forensic/Fraud Emphasis and follow that program’s requirements. Students may apply for admission into the M.B.A. program upon completion of 90 undergraduate credit hours in their junior year and are admitted to the M.B.A. program in their senior year. When a student has earned 115 credit hours and has been admitted into the M.B.A. program, they may choose to remain in their original undergraduate catalog year for graduate school or change to the current graduate catalog year.
Applicants to the joint degree program must meet the admission requirements of both the undergraduate and the graduate programs and follow the application procedures for the respective programs. Admission to the undergraduate accounting program does not guarantee admission to the M.B.A. program.
For the M.B.A. degree, the student must complete 30 hours of the M.B.A. core courses as well as 13 hours in Forensic/Fraud Accounting.
