Department of Accounting and Finance

Courses in accounting, finance, information systems, insurance, and business law at the undergraduate level are offered through the Department of Accounting and Finance. This Department also offers the Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A) Degrees in Accounting and Finance and a minor in Accounting at the undergraduate level. No graduate level degrees are offered through this unit.

The Department seeks to fulfill a primary mission of delivering quality instruction that provides students with:

  • A general education foundation,
  • A comprehensive understanding of general business concepts and principles,
  • The requisite conceptual and technical knowledge of accounting, finance, information systems, insurance, and business law, and
  • The basis for multi-dimensional roles required of professionals in accounting, finance information systems, insurance, and business law.

Recently, the Texas Legislature passed a bill regarding the requirements to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination. In its present format, Texas candidates for the CPA examination must meet the 150-semester-credit-hour requirement. Prior to writing the CPA examination, students can earn hours above those required-for the BBA degree--through the Master of Business Administration program in the Department of Business Administration as described in the Graduate School Bulletin of Texas Southern University.

Beta Alpha Psi, The National Association of Black Accountants and the Urban Financial Services Coalition are all administratively housed within the Department of Accounting and Finance. Beta Alpha Psi is a national scholastic and professional accounting fraternity that encourages excellence in the field of accounting. The National Association of Black Accountants promotes professional development in accounting to members of minority groups.
