<p>What do people usually double major business with?</p>
<p>bump.......</p>
<p>Usually it is with two business related majors such as accounting/finance or economics/finance. Howewver, I have seen double majors such as business and technical writing.</p>
<p>My son is contemplating a double major in accounting and finance. This gives you flexibility for many jobs, graduate degrees and options.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard of someone doing Finance/Int'l Business?</p>
<p>if u double major with finance/accounting, would one still be able to meet all the requirements to take the cpa?</p>

<p>It depends on both your school's program and your state's requirements to sit (or rather, the requirements of the state you want to become registered in). Adding the finance major wouldn't hurt you (in fact, it would help you a bit on the BEC part of the exam), but it probably won't mean you are able to sit for the exam. Most states require 150 credit hours of education and 24 credit hours of accounting (most states DO NOT count the two introductory/principles of accounting courses toward this requirement). I would talk to an advisor in the accounting department about this.</p>
<p>I'm double majoring in finance and psychology</p>
<p>Hmmm... all of the school I have looked at do not allow a double major in the same field (and sometimes related field). For example, I would not be able to major in Accounting and Marketing - Or Information Systems and Accounting. I think at NYU, they don't even want you to double major in Business and Computer Science or Econ.</p>
<p>So this is not the case everywhere?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Every school is different. I'm getting a business degree (with concentrations in accounting and financiance) and a psychology degree. I had to apply to a special program, but, other than that, I wasn't given any problems.</p>
<p>I'm an accounting and finance major, I only have to take three extra classes to get the accounting degree(Auditing, Cost Accounting, and Accounting Info Systems) The two degrees complement each other like a lot of my finance classes satisfy the req for the accounting degree and vice versa. It gets harder when you double major in two opposite fields like Art and Math, that would take probably 6 or 7 years.</p>
<p>ryanbis: yeah, your double major, I have found, is more acceptable because of the fields are not directly related (business/psychology). I have read on a few college websites that they allow Art/Science double majors but not Science/Science. So like mssales, having a Business/Business major wouldn't float.</p>
<p>May I ask where you two (mssales and ryanbis) are students?</p>
<p>Thanks.

<p>I go to Boston University.</p>
<p>While the business school here only offers one major (business...everyone here gets a BSBA), they do allow you to concentrate in different areas and you are allowed to double/tripple concentrate. A concentration is usually made up of four classes.</p>
<p>I am double concentrating in accounting and finance, so I took four accounting and four finance classes in addition to my other major requirements--so I will get a diploma for the bachelor's in psychology and a diploma that says bachelor's in business with concentrations in accounting and finance. </p>
<p>I do also know that double majoring in CAS (the arts and sciences school) is not frowned upon and is somewhat easy to do (and no special application is required). You would get one diploma with the two majors listed.</p>
<p>So, I wouldn't say that double majoring between unrelated fields is more acceptable (it's actually less acceptable, here, as far as I'm concerned, due ot the special application requirement). It just varies from school to school.</p>
<p>I attend the University of Southern Indiana.</p>

So after you graduate college, could you become an accountant if you wanted to?</p>

<p>I don't need grad school because I have enogh credits. I already have a job with PwC for post-grad and will be sitting for the CPA exam in August.</p>
<p>@ryanbis, I know you don't need a masters, but did BU offer an accelerated accounting program that allows students to stay a year or two longer and get a masters in accounting?</p>
<p>Thanks,

<p>"I know you don't need a masters, but did BU offer an accelerated accounting program that allows students to stay a year or two longer and get a masters in accounting?"</p>
<p>No--BU does not offer a 5 year master's program. They do offer a summer certificate program, however, that will give you enough credits to take the exam if you are a typical graduate. BU is a little different from some schools, in that it is on a 4 credit system (the average class is 4 credits, whereas the average is 3 most schools), so you graduate with roughly 136 credits (most undergraduate degrees require 120 credits). The summer program is 16 credits, so that puts you over the 150 credit hour requirement. I recommend that route, since you can go to work right away after four years and the salary difference between you and someone who has a MAcc is less than $5,000.</p>
