Masters Combined Program

The University of North Carolina at Wilmington offers an Accounting Bachelor’s/Master’s Combined Program (4+1 Accountancy) that leads to two degrees: a B.S. in Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting and an M.S. in Accountancy. Students take six hours of courses at the 500-level that are dual counted toward both degrees, and they can apply to graduate school after completing the B.S. degree.

Students apply to the 4+1 B.S. Accounting/M.S. Accountancy program after completing ACG 301 and ACG 306. Admission to the 4+1 program does not guarantee admission to the M.S. Accountancy program. In the final semester of the B.S. program, students apply to the MSA program; if admitted, the six 500-level credits count toward the M.S. requirements if the student earned a “B” or better in the courses.
