Dalton State College announces the establishment of a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting degree, marking its eighth four-year degree program since the College began offering bachelor’s degrees in 1999. The BBA in Accounting program will prepare students for entry level jobs in the accounting field and will also provide a rigorous curriculum that meets the minimum requirements for taking the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. “The accounting major is the perfect addition to our existing bachelor’s degree programs in business,” says Dr. Donna Mayo, Chair of the College’s Division of Business Administration.
“The field of accounting is one of the top professional fields in business, and our graduates will be able to develop productive careers in a variety of settings. We are excited about the opportunity to work with local and regional businesses who have already expressed interest in our accounting program.” In addition to meeting the general requirements for a bachelor’s degree in business, the Accounting curriculum includes 24 semester hours in upper-level subjects such as Financial Accounting and Reporting; Tax Compliance and Research; Planning and Control in the Corporate Environment, and others. Accounting graduates often find placement with CPA firms, public corporations, government, and non-for-profit organizations. The BBA in Accounting degree will be offered beginning fall semester 2007. Those interested in knowing more about the program are urged to call 706-272-4507.
