Accounting (B.A., B.S.)
Academically equivalent, both bachelor’s of art and bachelor’s of science will fully prepare you for a career in accounting. If you choose to graduate with two majors, and one major is only offered as a B.A. or B.S., the second major should match the first degree.
If you want to become a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) you will need to consult with an advisor for the best course curriculum.
