Overview

Coupled with the requisite business-related courses, an Accounting major opens avenues to established businesses, entrepreneurial possibilities and nonprofit pathways. With a wide array of both business and liberal arts courses, Carson-Newman University graduates are prepared to be critical thinkers and problem solvers.

While the accounting major may be completed in 128 credit hours, students have the option to extend coursework through May term and summer classes.

By accumulating 150 credit hours, graduates are eligible to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. In addition, if certain academic achievements are met, a senior undergraduate student may take a master’s level course in C-N’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program.
