Plan of Study

Accounting - Bachelor of Business Administration

College of Business & Technology, Department of Accounting & Finance

The Accounting program at Northeastern State University is designed to prepare the accounting major for a career in the accounting profession, public, private, or governmental. In addition, the accounting curriculum is designed to develop the accounting students’ ability to work effectively, to become mentally disciplined, to communicate orally and in writing, to be aware of professional responsibilities, to develop an appreciation of the accountant’s high standard of integrity, and of objectivity in reporting. The Accounting Program is structured to provide the non-accounting major with basic accounting knowledge for use in a chosen major field and personal life.

An Associate of Science or Associate of Arts degree earned from Eastern Oklahoma State College fulfills the general education requirements. Admission to the College of Business and Technology requires the following: Freshman Composition I (ENGL 1113), Freshman Composition II (ENGL 1213), College Algebra (MATH 1513), and Microcomputer Applications (CS 1103), all with a grade of “C” or better. The following courses are required for completion of the Accounting program. It is recommended that you complete these requirements while completing your associate’s degree.

An academic advisor is available through the College of Business & Technology Dean’s Office to work with students pursuing BBA degrees who have yet to select their intended field of study. Once a student has declared a major, he/she will be assigned a faculty advisor.
