Note:

  • **The prerequisite for BUSN 1440, Document Production, which students take second term, is the ability to key (type) at least 25 words per minute with keys covered. If a student cannot type at this speed, BUSN 1100 will need to be completed during the student’s first term to attain this speed prior to enrolling into BUSN 1440. If students do not need to take BUSN 1100, students will not take an elective class during the first term but will take an accounting elective during the fifth term.
  • Accounting Degree students must have a final grade of “C” or higher in all ACCT occupational courses to meet prerequisite requirements and qualify for graduation.
