Accounting students crafting a customized Individual Program of Study with plans for graduate accounting education might focus on cross-disciplinary learning during their undergraduate years, reserving specialized accounting coursework for advanced studies. Those not pursuing extensive graduate accounting education could center their undergraduate program on accounting specialization, using accounting courses as an alternative to a business concentration. State-specific CPA requirements, including Virginia's, distinguish between exam eligibility and licensure qualifications. These regulations, established by state legislation, may change over time - students should verify current standards with their state's regulatory body.
To graduate, students must maintain satisfactory academic standing, complete all general education and proficiency prerequisites, accumulate at least 60 Arts and Sciences credits, fulfill all Mason School of Business core and major requirements, and earn a minimum of 120 academic credit hours.
