Students interested in the Integrated BBA/MBA Program in Accounting will be required to complete a minimum of 154 semester credit hours of degree credit. Of this total, 118 semester credit hours will be at the undergraduate level and 36 hours will be at the graduate level. A unique feature of this five-year program will be the requirement that the student be admitted to the Graduate Program at the beginning of his or her senior year. This will enable the student to take graduate level courses during the fall and/or spring semester of the student's senior year. Yet another unique feature of this program will be awarding of the BBA and MBA degrees simultaneously at the completion of the program. Therefore, a student will not be awarded the BBA in Accounting after completing 118 semester credit hours at the undergraduate level and the MBA in Accounting upon completion of 36 graduate hours at the graduate level. Should a student decide not to finish the MBA portion of the program, then this student would be required to complete all the course requirements for the BBA in Accounting as a separate degree s specified in the 2007-2009 Angelo State University Bulletin. Refer to the Graduate section of this Bulletin for more information.
