Accounting

Associate Professor Barbara Wells, Chair, Division of Social Sciences

The Minor in Accounting is designed to supplement a student’s preparation in a major field. It provides additional depth in the field and background for further study. The Minor in Accounting requires completion of 20 credit hours: Business 215, 316, 341, and 365; also required are Economics 201 and one course from Mathematics 125, 221 or 222. Students planning to go to graduate school should select the Mathematics 125 option. To be eligible to take the CPA exam, a person must have 150 college credit hours, including four additional upper level accounting courses beyond what is offered at Maryville College. Superior students interested in accounting who have completed Maryville College degree requirements may be eligible for the 15-month Master of Accountancy program available at the University of Tennessee. Most graduate institutions offer similar programs. Course listings for accounting appear under the Business and Organization Management heading in this catalog.
