Bachelor of Science in Accountancy

Program Description

The Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) is a four-year degree program of professional accounting education. It is primarily intended to produce competent professional accountants equipped with professional knowledge and skills with appropriate professional values, ethics and attitudes that will enable them to make a positive contribution to the profession and to society.

The BSA program should provide a foundation of professional knowledge, professional skills, and professional values, ethics and attitudes that enable them to continue to learn and adapt to change throughout their professional lives. These capabilities will enable professional accountants to identify problems, know where to find this knowledge and know how to apply it in an ethical manner to achieve appropriate solutions.
