About the Department

The accounting program at UW-Whitewater is designed to prepare accounting majors to begin their professional careers in any area of their choice: public, industrial, or governmental accounting. UW-Whitewater offers both a Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA) and a Master of Professional Accounting (MPA) degree. However, students who wish to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination must complete a total of 150 units. UW-Whitewater's MPA program meets these requirements and is integrated seamlessly with the BBA program. Students may also meet the 150-unit requirement by completing a double-major in accounting and another business discipline of their choice (e.g., finance, international business).

Typical Course Sequences for each option are available online or in the department office. Students wishing to pursue a career in industry or government need only complete the four-year BBA degree. Information is also available about How to Succeed as an Accounting Major and the Uniform CPA Examination.
