Accounting B.B.A.
A 20-hour B.B.A. major or a 14-hour B.B.A. minor (beyond the 6 hours of Accounting required in the Business Foundation) is available. The 20-hour B.B.A. major is preparation for careers in accounting without CPA certification. Students wishing to pursue CPA certification must complete the 20-hour B.B.A. major, take an additional 6 hours in accounting as business electives and then complete the M.B.A. program requirements outlined in the UMHB graduate catalog.
Beginning with the Fall 2008 semester, the following 3 goals will be established for all Accounting majors before they graduate: 1) UMHB accounting graduates will be able to construct the complete accounting cycle; 2) UMHB accounting graduates will be able to construct the 5 stages of an audit; 3) UMHB accounting graduates will be able to understand individual and corporate federal income tax returns.
