<p>Hi, I am currently enrolled at Miami University as a freshman. I was primarily accepted as a marketing major; however, I wish to double major in Accountancy and Bioengineering. Like many teens, I have no concrete idea of my future. I was just wondering if the course load would be too much to handle? </p>
<p>I am also considering transferring to the Ohio State University my junior year. If you could give me some thoughts of that let me know.</p>
<p>Hey man, I currently go to Miami and i am majoring in Accounting. Unless you are a stellar student and a genius, a bioengineering and accounting double major is going to be extremely difficult. I have a friend who is in engineering and the workload is very heavy, and i know that accounting course loads will continue to get extremely heavy. If you plan to have no social life and are mentally capable, then go ahead and do it. Otherwise, i would suggest not. Both majors are very useful alone anyway? Stick to engineering or business though, seems like you have good plans for your future.</p>
<p>How’s the workload for accounting?</p>

<p>Any accredited accounting program is only going to leave you two electives at most! And those are typically used to take more accounting or finance classes. The reason is they are attempting to get you ready to sit for one of the hardest licensing tests out there. </p>
<p>You have some choices as to which general education classes you can take - within certain parameters, but you must complete the entire business core as well as at least 8 accounting classes and some states want 10!</p>
<p>Remember in almost every state, a BS will not qualify you to sit for the CPA - a minimum of 150 semester hours is required to even sit for the exam. The program is hard and not one where you can expect to double major in a non-business field, and a double major in another business field will take additional semesters without a boatload of AP credit.</p>
