Graduate Programs
The College of Business offers the Master of Business Administration, as well as courses in support of the alternative Master of Education in Secondary Education with a Business-Marketing concentration.

For information on the M.Ed. programs, refer to the appropriate section under Department of Teaching, Leadership, & Technology
Undergraduate Accounting Majors Seeking a Dual Degree
The Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy’s postsecondary educational hours requirement before a candidate can sit for the Uniform CPA examination is a total of 150 completed hours. In addition, the Board requires 33 specific accounting hours at the upper division undergraduate and/or graduate level.
A student may obtain an undergraduate accounting degree with 120 credit hours and an M.B.A. degree with 30 graduate credit hours. A student who declares the graduate path towards fulfillment of the Board’s post-secondary educational hours requirement may opt to complete two of four cross-listed accounting courses (AC 525, AC 527, AC 528, AC 581) at the graduate level and complete the remaining required M.B.A. courses. Dual degree students completing one or more of the four cross-listed accounting courses at the graduate level may opt out of AC 522.
Students electing the dual degree path who have a cumulative overall undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher are not required to take the GMAT exam, or GRE.
