***ACCT 616-619 are zero credit courses graded on a credit/no credit basis that do not contribute hours toward degree completion. Successful completion of these courses is required before the MBA/Accounting Emphasis degree is awarded. These courses are preparation for the different sections of the CPA Examination. Students should enroll in a minimum of one of these courses every semester until all four parts of the simulated CPA exam are passed. Students may substitute actual CPA examination scores for a simulated CPA exam score if the actual exam has been taken and passed.
^Please consult with your advisor if you took either of these courses as an undergraduate student. They will help you select another 500-level course.
Note: Registration for GSTC 600, Continuing Graduate Studies, may be required. Check with advisor.
