The Professional Accountancy Program offers seamless integration of coursework within our B.S.B.A. and M.Acc. degree programs to prepare students for professional accountancy careers. Students apply to enter the Professional Accountancy Program during the spring term of their junior year. Students are notified of their conditional acceptance along with their financial aid package for the program by November 15 of their senior year. Students must declare their intention to enter the Professional Accountancy Program by February 1 of their junior year. This declaration will be used to alert the Brock School of Business Graduate Programs Office and Student Records that this student will matriculate into the Professional Accountancy Program. Candidates of this degree program will earn both the B.S.B.A. in accounting and the master of accountancy degree assuming continued successful enrollment. Students must have a minimum overall 2.5 GPA for program admission, including a 2.5 GPA in all prior undergraduate ACCT courses.
