Frequently Asked Questions
Is a degree in accounting a BA or BS?
Depending on the program, an accounting degree may be offered as a Bachelor of Arts (BA), a Bachelor of Science (BS) or a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). BA programs often include more liberal arts coursework, while BS programs typically emphasize technical and scientific study. A BBA combines a strong business foundation with specialized accounting knowledge. Boise State’s online Bachelor of Business Administration in Accountancy prepares students with the accounting, finance and business skills needed for careers in accounting, financial management and leadership.
Are online accounting degrees respected?
While employer expectations can vary by industry, employers are increasingly unlikely to distinguish between an on-campus degree and an online degree, especially as most accredited universities now offer robust online business programs.
For a BBA in Accountancy, employers tend to focus on a candidate’s technical accounting knowledge, analytical skills and relevant experience — such as internships, coursework aligned with CPA preparation or hands-on financial analysis — rather than the format in which the degree was completed.
Additionally, Boise State diplomas do not indicate whether the degree was earned online or on campus, reinforcing that graduates hold the same credential regardless of learning format.
