Accountancy (BSA)

As one of the prestigious accounting programs in the country, we are committed to maintaining the highest quality faculty and providing a wide array of learning experiences for our students. Our students learn to transition into the accounting profession through student organizations, internships, and international programs. Interactive and rigorous classes focus on developing proficiencies in technical accounting, as well as current technology and communication skills. Our students participate in a senior assignment where they research recent accounting issues, which is unique to SIUE. Accreditation: The SIUE Department of Accounting holds separate accounting accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International. Less than 2 percent of accounting programs in the world hold separate accreditation from the AACSB. The next AACSB re-accreditation visit is scheduled for 2027.

Students seeking a bachelor’s degree from SIUE who have never attended a college or university, and those who may have taken some coursework at a college or university outside the U.S. but do not currently hold a bachelor’s degree must submit official records showing grades for all years of secondary/high school AND official exam results or certificate/diploma. Applicants who have attempted at least 30 semester hours (or 45 quarter hours) of college-level transfer credit (either from the U.S. or abroad) are not required to provide secondary school records.
