Students in the accounting concentration will take four required accounting courses. A seven course undergraduate accounting core that can be taken at Tennessee Tech is required before accounting concentration students can take 5000- or 6000-level accounting courses. The undergraduate accounting core that is required must include six hours of Intermediate Accounting, three hours of Cost Accounting, three hours of Tax Accounting, and three hours of Auditing. Students in the accounting track are not required to take MBA6010, Accounting Information for Management Decisions, therefore there are six common courses (18 hours) that are required instead of seven.
NOTE: Non-degree seeking students are not eligible for accounting electives unless (a) they currently hold a Master of Accountancy or (b) they are currently enrolled in another university's MBA program and have taken the following prerequisite undergraduate courses: Principles I & II, Intermediate I & II, Tax, Auditing, and Cost.
The Accounting Concentration courses are available only through distance-based delivery.
