Students enrolled in the BSAc Program are eligible to submit an application for early admission to graduate school via our combined 3/2 Program.
Some students enter the Fisher School of Accounting with the intention of limiting their accounting studies at the University of Florida to undergraduate coursework. These students often view the BSAc degree as providing valuable preparation for post-graduate studies in areas other than accounting (e.g., law) or may intend to complete graduate accounting studies at another institution.
Students are cautioned that completion of the BSAc degree alone will not satisfy the licensure requirements to practice as a CPA in the State of Florida. Students aspiring to a career in professional accounting should plan on seeking admission to the 3/2 Program. We have not made a determination as to whether the BSAc program meets educational requirements in any other state or jurisdiction. For information regarding eligibility to sit for the CPA exam, and obtain CPA licensure, for all states and jurisdictions, visit the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy.
