  Bachelor of Science in Accounting

  Students without a Business - DTA degree may still apply for the program, but they may need to complete additional coursework outside of CWU to fulfill degree requirements. We recommend students have completed a pre-calculus class that is equivalent to CWU’s MATH 153 before starting the program (equivalents to MATH 154, MATH 170, and MATH 172 are also acceptable). 

  • MATH 153 is not consistently offered online by CWU and we strongly encourage students to have this completed prior to transferring. Students who transfer without this completed may need to take this course at a community college or another institution and transfer it in to meet degree requirements.
  • MATH& 141 is the most common equivalent offered at Washington Community Colleges. MATH& 142 or MATH&148 will also suffice.
