Bachelor of Science in Accountancy

The Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) curriculum adopts CHED MEMORANDUM ORDER NO. 3 Series of 2007, which is based on International Education Standards aimed to equip students to meet the competencies required in the workplace whether in the country or abroad. It is an 11 trimester course (3 years plus 2 semesters) which is equivalent to a 5-year course in a semestral setting. The program prepares students to be liberally educated accountants who can think and write clearly, effectively, and critically. It also prepares them to become total business advisors, who are knowledgeable with business structures and economic concepts; and trains them to be ethically and technically competent in the field of accounting and auditing.

A BSA graduate can pursue a career in any of the four (4) major fields of accountancy. The graduate can be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Public Practitioner, who chooses to be an auditor, tax or management consultant. Second, the graduate may join commerce and industry as a comptroller, internal auditor, financial accounting and reporting staff within the Accounting Department of a business enterprise. Third, the graduate may choose to join the government as an accountant, auditor, or financial analyst in different government agencies like the COA, BIR, GSIS, AFP, and the like. Lastly, the graduate may join the education sector as a member of the College of Accountancy.

A graduate of BS Accountancy is eligible to take the Certified Public Accountants Licensure Examination.
