Accounting BAS Track

Management with accounting focus

The Organizational Management Bachelor of Applied Science's Accounting track provides students with the educational foundation appropriate for professional management careers within the accounting and auditing departments of manufacturing companies, service providers, banks, non-profits and other financial organizations.

Accounting specialization students must have the following courses before they can graduate.:

• ACG 2021 - Financial Accounting
• ACG 2071 - Managerial Accounting
• ACG 2100 - Intermediate Accounting I
• CGS 2100: Microcomputer Applications

The admissions process follows the general bachelor's degree enrollment steps. Students are accepted into the program for the Spring, Summer and Fall terms which start in January, May and August each year. The Organizational Management common core courses required for this degree can be taken online or on campus, while the five Accouting Specialization courses are offered only online.

The degree is intended to provide students with the leadership skills and knowledge necessary to enter the workforce in a mid-level management position in public, private and non-profit sectors. In addition to the organizational management degree's core courses, Accounting track students will complete 15 credit hours focused on the basics of accounting, auditing and taxation.

While the Accounting specialization offers a 100% online option, bachelor program courses can fill quickly when registration begins. To finish a program that has a designated 100% online option by taking only online courses, students need to register in a timely manner to ensure they have a seat for the online course offerings of their choice. The same guidance applies to access for face-to-face courses on campus. Work with your advisor as needed when planning and be sure to check the important term dates and student email for current information about registration start dates. 

This BAS program is designed for students who already hold an Associate in Science degree (A.S.), Associate in Arts degree (A.A.) or higher from a regionally accredited institution, including recent graduates and those with experience in the work force. An Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree does not meet the minimum eligibility requirement for entry into this program. AAS degree holders who intend to transfer into the BAS program should consult with an academic advisor to review coursework and determine the best transfer options.
