|
Program Requirements
- A grade of C or higher must be earned in all courses that are used as prerequisites. These are noted with an asterisk.
Notes
- Students should note that all finance, risk and accounting courses are not offered every semester. Students should take the ACCT 2200 and ACCT 2220 courses as soon as possible to avoid future problems in their schedules, since these are prerequisites for all courses in the specialization.
- Students also have the option to complete an Accounting major with a specialization in Information Systems. Click here to view this option.
- Students also have the opportunity to continue their education with an MS in Accounting. The Accounting 4+1 program allows students to potentially complete the BS and MS degrees in as little as five years through substituting two graduate courses for two undergraduate courses. The graduate courses count towards both the BS and MS degrees.
- If you are considering this 4+1 program, contact your advisor immediately so that you can appropriately plan your coursework. Email: undergrad.advising@ucdenver.edu
- If you are considering pursuing a CPA, talk to the accounting department about the best courses to take. Email: accounting.cpa@ucdenver.edu
