Public Accounting Path
Planning for the CPA?
The four-course concentration is a foundation—not a complete CPA licensure plan. Education, exam, ethics, and experience requirements vary by jurisdiction and are changing in a number of states.
Career Possibilities
Accounting can lead in many directions.
Babson identifies career paths including audit, tax, forensic accounting, mergers & acquisitions, corporate accounting, and internal audit.
Faculty Guidance
Use BAC as a starting point—not a substitute for academic advising.
BAC can help students understand the accounting path and prepare questions. For official concentration planning and CPA-related course sequencing, students should confirm requirements with Babson's Accounting & Law Division and their academic adviser.
