Evening College + provides an opportunity for the working adult to complete a degree
with great flexibility.
The following suggested course sequence assumes that the student will attend as a
full-time student and will make use of the optional delivery methods (i.e. online,
blended and iCourses) available. Students can also use this course sequence as a guide
to assist in planning as a part-time evening student. This sequence includes suggested
courses to complete all general education requirements (47 credit hours) and program requirements (25 credit hours).
The MSU Accounting major requires completion of the College of Business admission
core requirements (45 credit hours), globalization requirements (6 credit hours) and other
requirements as specified in the catalog. To graduate with a Bachelor’s degree students
must fulfill all general baccalaureate degree requirements including any additional
hours to total a minimum of 125 credit hours. An academic advisor from the department
of your major and minor will be your best resource for creating a degree plan.
