Graduation with Honors

Graduation with Honors in Accounting

All BSBA graduates receiving "honors in accounting" must successfully complete the following requirements:

1. An overall minimum cumulative grade point-hour ratio of 3.5 or higher.
2. Completion of 60 semester hours of graded coursework in residence at the Columbus campus.
3. Completion of at least 8 honors (or equivalent*) courses in Accounting and MIS, including ACCTMIS 2200H, 2300H, 3100H, 3200H, 3201H, 3300H and at least two from the following courses: 3400H, 3600H, 5200H, 5500H.
4. Completion of at least one honors course (or Director-approved substitute*) in an area other than Accounting and MIS with a grade point of 3.5 or higher (A or A-).
5. A cumulative grade point average of 3.5 is required for all courses taken in the Department of Accounting and MIS.

* A student seeking to substitute a non-honors course for an honors course must submit a request to the Accounting Honors Program Director in writing. Only courses that are significantly in excess of the regular undergraduate requirements are eligible for consideration. (Economics 4001 is now a requirement of the accounting specialization and will no longer be allowed as a substitute.)

**If you enroll in the accelerated BSBA/MAcc program, you may substitute specific courses in the Master of Accounting program for ACCTMIS 3400H, 5200H, and 5500H.
