TCC to NSU Broken Arrow: Accounting

NSU Accounting, B.B.A.: This program prepares students for a career in the accounting profession, either public, private, or governmental. In addition, the accounting curriculum is designed to develop the accounting student's 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 at NSU is structured to provide students who minor in accounting with basic accounting knowledge for use in a chosen major field and personal life.

Major guidelines / regulations:

• For admission to the BBA Program, students must have completed (30) credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Included in these 30 hours must be ENGL 1113, ENGL 1213, and MATH 1513 with a grade of C or better as well as completing all required business courses with a C or better.
• Satisfactory completion of CSCI 1203 is also required.
• Students failing to meet these admission requirements will be limited in the business classes they may take until all requirements are completed.
• Students in all College of Business and Technology (CBT) programs must read and sign the CBT Standards of Professional Behavior.

What it takes to complete a B.B.A. from NSU. If you don't complete your AA or AS at TCC, you will need to meet NSU's specific general education requirements. You must have at least 124 hours completed to earn a bachelor's degree. Of those hours, 60 must be from a university (4 year school), 40 must be junior and senior (3000/4000) level, and half of the hours in your major must be from NSU. You must also be both English and computer proficient. This means that you must pass English Composition I & II with a C or better and demonstrate computer proficiency (high school or college course work / test). Therefore, when you transfer to NSU, you will likely need to complete around 60 more hours in order to earn your Bachelor of Business Administration degree.

Transferring to NSU is a seamless process. Although you can transfer to NSU at any time in your academic career, the smoothest transition occurs if you have earned or will earn an AA or AS from TCC. This milestone will also meet your general education requirements at NSU (unless it is a specific NSU requirement for you to graduate).

How do my Tulsa Community Colleges classes transfer to NSU? Every class you take at TCC will transfer to NSU. Each class counts in one of the following categories that make up a bachelor's degree: general education, major, minor, or free elective. Minors (18 hours) are a coherent set of courses in a discipline or interdisciplinary grouping other than a student's degree program. (Some programs do NOT require minors because of the number of major hours required.) Free electives can be selected from any academic area. They allow you to explore academic interests outside of your major while counting toward the 124 hours you need to graduate. If you completed a class at TCC that does not meet one of the other specific requirements, it will count as a free elective, up to the first 64 hours. If you complete more than 64 hours at the associate degree level, all courses will transfer to NSU, but only the first 64 hours will apply to your degree. You must have 60 hours from a four-year institution to meet state requirements for graduation with a baccalaureate degree.

When can you start taking NSU classes? You can begin taking classes at NSU while you are completing your AA or AS at TCC. This is called dual enrollment; many students do this each semester. Consult an NSU academic advisor and a financial aid counselor to see how dual enrollment can work for you.
