Accounting Degree Completion
Increase your career pathways while maintaining your lifestyle
Bring in three years of course credit from any accredited college and complete your bachelor’s degree in accounting in one year. Classes at Bluffton build upon the coursework you’ve previously taken so you can quickly contribute to your organizations in new and exciting ways.
This program is designed for working adults looking to advance in their careers while maintaining their busy schedules and taps into what Bluffton is all about—building relationships and serving students.
Coursework is delivered online with a combination of scheduled weekly virtual classroom sessions and asynchronous online courses completed at your own pace.
To be admitted you must have completed at least some transferable university credit with a minimum 2.0 GPA. Preference is given to students 23 years of age or older with prior work experience.

you may have additional courses to complete. These additional semester hours may be

through College Level Examination Program (CLEP), or DANTES Subject Standardized Tests
(DSST). Our academic advisors are available to help you determine the best fit.
