Major in Accounting


Requirements for the accounting major and typical program of courses are listed below. Students majoring in accounting must take the business core  along with the eight upper-level accounting courses identified below. Seven of these eight courses must be taken within the Accounting Department at Loyola University Maryland.

Notes:


AC 310  is the corequisite for AC 301 , AC 302 , AC 303 , and AC 311  (excluding Loyola study abroad students).

Course requirements for the CPA exam vary by state. In order to choose the appropriate courses, accounting majors should contact their major advisors and reference the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy website, nasba.org.

150-Hour CPA Requirement

Students who plan to sit for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) examination in a state with a 150-credit-hour educational requirement must complete additional coursework beyond the undergraduate accounting degree. Loyola offers the Master of Accounting (M.Acc.) to assist students in meeting this requirement. The M.Acc. program offers a 10-course, 30-credit-hour cohort program which can be delivered in a full-time (three semester) or part-time format. Consult the graduate catalogue for more information about the M.Acc. program.
