Year 1

This three-year plan serves as an example and may vary for each student. Individual plans will differ based on factors such as course availability, transferable credits, academic progress, and other considerations. Faculty advisors will work closely with students to develop a personalized course plan that best fits their needs and goals. Students should always consult with their advisor regarding class offerings to prevent any overlap or conflicts, depending on the semester in which the classes are offered. The summer semesters are divided into “Summer 1” and “Summer 2,” meaning students will typically take two or three courses in Summer 1 and two or three courses in Summer 2, rather than all four or five courses at once. While completing an accounting degree in 2.5 or 3 years is challenging, we have designed this curriculum to enable a strong student to navigate the program successfully within this timeframe.
