Undergraduate Minor in Accounting
The Paul Merage School of Business faculty offer an undergraduate minor in
Accounting consisting of seven upper-division courses. In addition, two lower-division
introductory accounting courses, one lower-division microeconomics course, and
one lower-division single variable calculus course are prerequisites to the
minor program.
In establishing the undergraduate minor in Accounting, the faculty anticipated
three types of students to be drawn to courses in accounting: (1) students who
wish to meet the accounting course work eligibility requirements to sit for
the uniform CPA examination, (2) students preparing for careers in private accounting
or in other fields that require some knowledge of accounting, and (3) students
planning to pursue a graduate degree in accounting who wish early guidance and
undergraduate work appropriate to this career objective.
Students are eligible to apply for the minor in Accounting if they have upper-division
standing and have completed Management 30A and 30B with a grade no lower than
B (3.0) and all other prerequisite courses with a grade no lower than C (2.0).
Completion of the prerequisite courses does not guarantee admission to the minor
in Accounting. Admission is on a competitive basis and students must submit
an application, transcripts, and a statement of purpose. Applications are accepted
on a quarterly basis. Interested students are encouraged to obtain further information

Building; Web site: http://www.merage.uci.edu.
