Frequently Asked Questions
Is a degree in accounting a BA or BS?
Depending on the program, an accounting degree can be either a Bachelor of Arts, which focuses on general studies and liberal arts, or a Bachelor of Science, which is a more technical degree and therefore more common for this career path. Boise State’s online Bachelor of Business Administration in Accountancy is a BBA, which is an undergraduate degree that focuses more on business practices and principles for students who want to specialize in finance and accounting or become future leaders.
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.
