The BBA accounting curriculum is designed to prepare the student
for an accounting career in private accounting. Students are encouraged
to declare their intention to major in accounting as early
as possible after enrolling at DBU. A full-time accounting
professor will counsel with each declaring student individually
to develop a semester-by-semester degree plan to assure proper
sequence of courses. Students may not continue as accounting
majors unless they maintain a Grade Point Average of 3.0 in
their upper-level accounting courses.
Mission
Statement:
The purpose of the Accounting Program of Dallas Baptist University
is to provide a Christ-centered, high quality, accounting
education by focusing on faith-integration, excellence in
classroom instruction, and competence-building activities
in order to produce servant leaders.
Programs:
BBA Accounting Degree: Graduates with a BBA in Accounting will demonstrate competence in the foundational areas of business and possess the technical skills and accounting knowledge necessary to assume an entry-level accounting role in whatever business they choose. The BBA degree alone does not qualify a student to register for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination. Students enrolled in the BBA degree program are required to complete a minimum of 126 credit hours.
The
24-hour BBA accounting major prepares students for careers
as professional accountants in business. In addition to the
eleven common-core courses required of all BBA degree programs,
which include 6 hours of principles level accounting courses,
accounting majors complete eight required upper-level accounting
courses and two upper level business electives.
Accelerated BBA/MBA
Accounting Degree: Students
enrolled in the Accelerated BBA/MBA Accounting degree program are
required to complete a minimum of 156 credit hours. The BBA/MBA
accounting major prepares students for careers as professional
accountants in public practice. In addition to ten common-core
courses required of all BBA degree programs, which include
6 hours of principles level accounting courses, and seven
common-core courses required of all MBA degree programs, accounting
majors complete fourteen required upper-level accounting courses.
