The DUAL BS/MBA in Accounting is designed to provide individuals with the necessary education for careers in public or private accounting.
The requirements for licensure in public accountancy in the State of New York have recently changed. As of August 1, 2009 students applying for licensure must satisfactorily complete a 150-hour licensure qualifying program registered with the State Education Department.
At St. Joseph’s College, this requirement can be met in one of two ways:
- Complete the 128-credit B.S. in Business Administration with a major in Accounting and then complete the 36-credit M.B.A. in Accounting or
- Complete the 152-credit B.S./M.B.A. in Accounting
Students will be eligible for admission to the DUAL B.S./M.B.A. Program after completing ACC 213 - Intermediate Accounting II and 90 credits. In addition, students will be required to have an overall GPA, and business and accounting GPA of 2.8. Transfer students are eligible to apply for admission to the B.S./M.B.A. Program after completing 30 credits at the College and meeting the GPA requirements. Undergraduate prerequisite courses must be completed prior to graduate coursework to which they relate.
