The Accounting option provides the foundation for careers in accounting.  The undergraduate degree is the first phase of an integrated program leading to an MBA with an accounting emphasis.  The undergraduate option prepares students for many entry-level positions in the accounting area while the graduate program complies with South Carolina's 150-semester-hour requirement to sit for the CPA exam.  Following completion of general education requirements, students take a challenging curriculum of core business courses, finishing with in-depth classes such as intermediate accounting, individual and corporate tax, auditing, and accounting information systems.
