B.S. in Accounting and Finance

The Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance (BSAF) degree is designed for students who arrive at the business school with a clear interest in careers in the financial services industry or in corporate financial management. The content of the degree is equivalent to a BBA with a double major in Finance and Accounting and a minor in Business Analytics. 

Because of its emphasis on the development of quantitative skills in data analytics, the degree is intended for quantitatively-oriented students. In order to prepare students for industry internships during their junior year, the BSAF degree is designed to facilitate accelerated coursework in Finance, Accounting, and data analytics during the freshman and sophomore years.

The minimum standards for the BSAF degree are comparatively higher than those of the BBA degree. Students must maintain a minimum overall cumulative GPA of 3.0 in order to remain eligible for the BSAF degree, calculated at the end of each semester or term, including the first.

The University Repeat Rule may be utilized by BSAF students to replace a D or F only if the cumulative GPA meets the requisite 3.0 GPA without the repeat. Given the accelerated pace of the BSAF core, repeated courses are not to be used to retroactively reinstate a student into the program.
