BBA / MSA Program: Double Counting Courses and Provisional Admission
Double counting courses and provisional admission are provided to Kent State University undergraduate accounting students with outstanding records or individuals with exemplary professional credentials. The application for admission into the MSA program should marginally note that the application is to the BBA/MSA program. Application forms are available from the GSM Office (A310 BSA).
Note: The application for provisional admission must be complete and be in the hands of the GSM Office prior to the normal MSA application deadline date to be approved for the following semester.
Students in or entering their senior year who have completed 105 semester hours and have a 3.2 or higher overall GPA and accounting major GPA (or have completed less than 105 semester hours and have a 3.3 or higher GPA) may obtain provisional admission to the MSA program. Five undergraduate courses are available as so-called "slash" courses: ACCT 43013, 43014, 43020, 43033 and 43034. The graduate-level equivalents are: ACCT 53013, 53014, 53020, 53033, and 53034. A student who is provisionally admitted would take the 53000 level courses and these would count as both BBA and MSA hours. A maximum of 12 hours may be counted towards both the BBA and MSA degrees. BAD 60000 level courses occasionally may be available to double count with instructor approval and the approval of the MSA coordinator. On the approval form for provisional admission, the MSA coordinator will note (if then known) those courses to be double counted.
Note: Provisional admission does not guarantee ultimate admission to the MSA program. The student must meet the normal admissions requirements.
