Accounting Major, BBA

Campus: NYC, Westchester

The BBA in Accounting (120 credits) provides a strong foundation in accounting and business and prepares students to sit for the CPA Examination and pursue licensure under the newly introduced 120-credit CPA pathway adopted by New York State and many other jurisdictions. The program is designed for completion in approximately four (4) years.

Students who plan to pursue CPA licensure under the traditional 150-credit pathway or who wish to earn a graduate degree in accounting may consider enrolling in one of Pace’s graduate programs after completing the BBA (e.g., MS Accounting Data Analytics and Technologies - 1 Year program).

Students who prefer to complete all 150 credits required for CPA licensure within a single continuous program may consider the following options:
