Requirements for a Minor in Accounting
The undergraduate accounting minor program is open to all students except accounting majors. The minor complements major fields of study in other departments or schools and enables students to choose a concentration of courses in a particular area of accounting, such as financial, managerial, and tax.
The accounting minor consists of 18 credit hours. The six courses are made up of two required courses (ACC 212 and 213) and four upper-division accounting courses. Transfer students must complete at least three upper-division accounting courses at the Seidman College. Independent research and internship credits do not count toward the requirements for the minor. Only upper-division accounting courses in which the student has earned a C- or better may be used to satisfy requirements for the accounting minor. Students must achieve a cumulative 2.5 GPA in these courses to receive the accounting minor designation. Courses cannot be taken on a credit/no credit basis.
When you have completed all the required courses in this program, be sure to apply for your certificate. Call 204. 694.1789 or 1.866.242.7073. When you receive your certificate, you will be invited to participate in one of the College’s semi-annual Graduation ceremonies.
Effective July 1, 2002, students who obtain a grade point average (GPA) of 3.8 or better will graduate with honours.Students will not be granted more than 75% of credit requirements for graduation through transfer of credit. Students with any course failures within their program of study will not be eligible for the honours designation.
The accounting major learns about generating, evaluating, and using financial information for external and internal reporting, taxation, and decision making. The accounting curriculum prepares students for careers in public or corporate accounting and provides excellent preparation for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination. Students interested in corporate or tax law may also wish to pursue an accounting major.
