The Value of an Accounting Degree
You'll have your accounting degree, but in your work, you won’t just be an accountant. You’ll have the unique opportunity to work across the entire organization. And, when you view yourself as a business partner to your entire organization, you’ll excel in your career.
BBA in Accounting
Accounting undergraduates take 21 hours of accounting. Finance majors choosing an accounting emphasis complete nine to 12 additional hours. Students can choose a Corporate Track or a Financial Institutions Track. Required and recommended courses include Intermediate Accounting, Financial Statement Analysis, Managerial Accounting and Control, Auditing and Control, and Fundamentals of Taxation.
One-Year Accounting Master's
Three options open the door to a STEM designated MPA degree. The one-year traditional MPA program is open to students who hold a bachelor’s degree in any discipline. The integrated MPA program provides McCombs students an opportunity to earn a BBA-accounting and MPA degree in five years. Current UT students pursuing a non-accounting major can get a head start on MPA classes through the MPA Bridge program.
Accounting Ph.D.
The demand for skilled educators is strong, and doctoral graduates in accounting from Texas McCombs have enjoyed considerable placement success. If you aspire to a career as an accounting educator and researcher, our accounting doctoral program will set you up for success. Most students enter ltheprogram with some institutional knowledge in one or more traditional accounting areas. However, we welcome students with backgrounds in Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, Finance, Psychology, or other related disciplines, and we can remedy any lack of accounting knowledge through additional coursework.
