What You'll Study
Accounting graduates receive a bachelor of science degree in business administration. The curriculum consists of business core courses, the accounting major, the general studies, and cooperative education.
Students who choose the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) track should meet with their academic advisor to discuss requirements for their free electives. Because New York State now requires five years of study, students in the CPA track would earn their bachelor of science degree after four years and spend their fifth year pursuing their MBA-Accounting degree.
When you are ready to apply, you can do so through the RIT Office of Admissions.
