Accounting Foundation Courses

The Accounting Foundation Courses are required for the degree and also required by most State Boards of Accountancy for candidates seeking CPA certification. The 300 level courses are perquisites for the upper division courses and carry no graduate credit. Students with an undergraduate degree in Accounting should have taken these courses or equivalents and will be waived. Students without an accounting degree will need to take these courses if they have not previously completed them. Only two 400 level courses can count for graduate credit.
