AFFORDABLE AND TECHNOLOGY-ENRICHED
Mayville State University’s Bachelor of Science in Accounting program provides the foundational coursework necessary for students:
- who are preparing for careers in accounting, finance, auditing, and related fields,
- who plan to take many professional accounting certification exams.
The Accounting program has been designed to prepare students academically for CPA licensure exams in North Dakota. Completion of the program does not award students the CPA designation. North Dakota law requires that individuals who sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) professional exam must complete 150 semester hours of a college education. An additional 30 hours beyond this program’s requirements would be needed for students who want to pursue the CPA certification.
Online/distance students living in or moving to any state other than North Dakota should be aware of the unique CPA licensure requirements for that location. Program applicants seeking to establish CPA licensure outside the state of North Dakota need to contact the B.S. in Accounting program coordinator or division chair prior to beginning any on-campus or online/distance academic program which would lead to licensure. It is important for all students to understand the licensure requirements for the location they intend to live and work. Information about CPA licensure requirements in other states can be found here.
Students working towards the B.S. in Accounting may choose to complete a double major with a B.S. or B.A.S. in Business Administration.
