Frequently Asked Questions

Does this program prepare me to sit for the CPA exam?
Yes. Our Accounting B.S.B.A. provides the strong academic foundation required for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam. While most states (including Pennsylvania) require 150 credit hours for licensure, our program integrates seamlessly with our MBA program. This allows you to earn both your bachelor's and master's degrees—and reach the 150-credit requirement—in less time than taking them separately.
Can I earn my MBA at the same time?
Through our FastForward Bachelor's to MBA program, qualified accounting undergraduates can take MBA-level courses during their senior year at no extra cost. This accelerates your path to a graduate degree, saving you time and tuition while fulfilling the credit requirements needed for CPA licensure.
Is the Accounting program accredited?
Seton Hill University's Division of Business is accredited by the International Accreditation Council for Business Education (IACBE). This specialized accreditation ensures our accounting curriculum meets rigorous academic standards and prepares students effectively for the professional business environment.
