Bachelor in Accounting

Students who major in accounting earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree. Coastal Carolina University's accounting program offers two concentrations: certified managerial accounting and certified public accounting. Students successfully completing the accounting major will have competencies in both financial and cost accounting. For graduates wishing to further their education, we offer a Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program.

Students are required to earn a grade of "C" or better in each course used to satisfy the Wall College of Business foundation, core, and major requirements. Students must also successfully complete all components of the Building Your Business Portfolio program as part of their Wall College of Business foundation requirements. Transfer credit for 300 or 400 level business courses will be accepted, for degree requirements, only from AACSB accredited business programs. Exceptions to this policy must be approved through the dean's office with consultation, as appropriate, with department heads. Transfer students will be required to take, at CCU, a minimum of 24 credit hours of 300 and 400 level courses from the Wall College of Business foundation, core, and major requirements. The 24 credit hours must include CBAD 478 Strategic Management.
