Bachelor of Science in Accounting

Program Highlights

This program provides 36 accounting credit hours to meet the educational requirements for becoming a CPA in most states, and accounting courses cover topics on the CPA and CMA exams. You will also gain knowledge in areas such as:

• Accounting Principles application (United States and International)
• Financial statement preparation and analysis
• Tax law reporting and compliance
• Audit standards and procedures
• Business information analysis using current technologies

You can obtain your accounting degree in a traditional, 16-week format at our Connecticut campus (evening and weekend classes available) or in an accelerated, eight-week online environment — or a combination of both. Our commitment to you is a personalized educational experience, and we’re happy to work with your schedule.

Complete Your Bachelors and Masters in Accounting in 5 years

Students may apply for the Accounting program when they first register at Post, meeting the undergraduate admission requirements, with the intent to complete both the undergraduate degree and the graduate degree in 5 years. Students with intent will combine Post University’s current Bachelor of Science in Accounting and the current MS in Accounting (including the CPA Track Exam Prep Labs). The degree plans will be structured so that students can complete both degrees in a 5-year period. Final acceptance into the Master of Science in Accounting is decided at the completion of the student’s third year and is conditional on the following:

1. Students must have at least 108 undergraduate credit hours completed successfully prior to starting their fourth year.
2. Students must complete their undergraduate accounting degree during year 4.
3. Students must have a 3.00 cumulative GPA
4. Students must be undergraduate accounting majors.

Please note: If students meet the above requirements, the traditional letters of recommendation and the essay requirement for the MS in Accounting would be waived.
