Bachelor of Science/Professional Master of Accounting (B.S./Professional M.Ac.)

This innovative program allows undergraduates to enroll in undergraduate and graduate coursework concurrently during their senior year. In addition to fulfilling the CPA credit hour requirement, highlights of the program include:

• Accounting curriculum prepares students for the current job market.
• Courses are taught by highly qualified Rutgers accounting faculty and industry professionals.
• Saturday schedule, with no courses during tax season, allows for full-time work or an internship.
• Networking opportunities with current accounting professionals are provided.

Students apply for program admission in the spring of their junior year and, if admitted, begin graduate work in the fall of their senior year. While enrolled as full-time undergraduates in their senior year, dual-degree students also enroll in 12 credits of graduate coursework at no additional cost, which equates to a 40 percent reduction in the program cost. At the end of their senior year, students must earn the bachelor's degree. In the following 10 months, students complete the remaining 18 credits of graduate coursework to earn the master's degree one year after earning the bachelor's degree.
