Accounting, B.S.B.A. (4110)

The accounting major is designed to prepare students for positions in public, private, or governmental accounting and is an excellent pre-law major. The major also provides an educational background for the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA), Certified Management Accountant (CMA) and Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examinations. Students should be aware that additional educational requirements exist to sit for the CPA examination in Tennessee (some of which are contained in this catalog). A continuously updated listing of those requirements can normally be found at the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy website (https://nasba.org/exams/cpaexam/tennessee/).

A sample four-year plan for this major is provided by the College.
