The bachelor's degree program with accounting concentration is based on the UMass Lowell general education courses that consist of 56 credits in areas outside of the Manning School of Business. In addition, the Manning School of Business foundation and core curriculum include 67 hours of courses from all the business disciplines including 24 hours of courses from accounting.

Students who have already earned their Bachelor's degree in another discipline can pursue an undergraduate Accounting Certificate, allowing them an opportunity to begin a future in accounting. In addition to preparing students to take on entry-level accounting positions like bookkeeping and accounting clerks, this Certificate provides the required undergraduate-level courses in Accounting that one needs before they can apply to most graduate-level programs in Accounting.
