Accounting, B.S./MBA Program

The Accounting Department offers interested and qualified students the opportunity to earn both a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting and a Master of Business Administration degree. While this program may benefit any student interested in the accounting discipline, the program was developed in response to the adoption by most states of a 150-credit-hour educational requirement to become a Certified Public Accountant. With judicious course scheduling, most students can complete the program within five academic years.

Students interested in this accelerated B.S./M.B.A. degree program should consult their academic advisors by the beginning of their sophomore year and apply to Graduate Admissions as early as a month prior to the start of the second semester of their junior year at The University of Scranton. Criteria for acceptance into the accelerated program include the student’s previous academic performance, letters of recommendation and statement of purpose. Students must adhere to requirements as listed in the Graduate Studies Catalog.
