  In general, the accounting curriculum prepares a student for the professional accounting examinations. However, the CPA examination in Tennessee requires 150 semester hours. Undergraduate accounting majors may enroll in the 152-hour accounting program that provides both B.B.A. and Master of Accountancy degrees. Students interested in the 152-hour program and preparing for the CPA examination should consult with a member of the accounting faculty to ensure they meet the new requirements.

General Electives: 23 Hours (minimum)

152-Hour Accounting Program

Belmont undergraduate accounting majors may apply for early admission to the MACC program. If accepted, students may petition to enroll in two accelerated accounting classes (ACC 4990 ) during their final semester as undergraduates. Upon successful completion (C or above) of the undergraduate portion of the course, students will continue on at a graduate level of study. At the conclusion of the course, students may then take a proficiency exam for each course and receive up to four hours of graduate accounting credit to be applied toward Belmont’s MACC program. (The graduate hours are not transferable to any other graduate program of accounting; only to Belmont’s MACC program.) If students successfully pass the graduate component of the course, evidenced by passing the proficiency exam, students will be granted the graduate hours upon completion of the undergraduate degree and matriculation into the MACC program. The accelerated courses will be identified by the accounting faculty. If a student wishes to take a different accelerated course, that student must petition and obtain permission from the Coordinator of the Accounting Program or the Graduate Associate Dean. Only undergraduate students who have applied to and been formally admitted to the MACC program are eligible for this accelerated program option.
