Notes: 1. See the community college course catalog degree plan to see which general education courses meet these requirements for the AA degree. 2. All MSU Denver students are required to take or transfer in a Multicultural elective (can be within major) AND a Global Diversity elective (cannot be within major). 3. Choose major electives in consultation with a faculty advisor. ACC 4440 – Ethics in Accounting satisfies the major’s ethics requirement. It is offered fall and spring. Otherwise, students must take BUS 3040 – Global Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability, in place of one of the General Elective classes mapped out here.

Bachelor of Science – Accounting Special Program Notes: Community College of Denver students:
Please check out MSU Denver’s College of Business website to view the articulation agreement for completing your Associate of Applied Science in Accounting at CCD prior to transferring to MSU Denver. www.msudenver.edu/business/advising/agreementswithothercolleges/agreementswithcoloradocommunitycolleges/
ASSOCIATE OF ARTS OR SCIENCE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS (60 Credits):
Students should note that all required courses must be satisfactorily completed as part of the AA or AS degree at the community college and will also transfer and apply to the bachelor’s degree requirements at the receiving 4-year institution. However, if you’re going to transfer before completing the AA or AS degree, you may not need some of these courses. In that case, check with MSU Denver and an advisor for your options.
GUARANTEES & LIMITATIONS
1. Completion of an Associate Degree: This transfer guide identifies the courses a student needs to complete (with a C- or higher) to earn an AA or AS degree at a Colorado community/junior college to be able to finish the designated baccalaureate degree in no more than 60 credits. Course credit may be applied to major, elective or other requirements at MSU Denver discretion. If more than 60 college-level credits are taken or the student gets lower than a C- in one or more courses at the community/junior college, then some loss of transfer credit may occur, and students may not be able to complete this baccalaureate degree in 120 credits.
2. Transfer Before Completing an Associate Degree: If the student intends to transfer prior to completing an AA or AS degree, this transfer guide should still be used to identify the courses that can most effectively prepare them for efficiently completing the designated major at MSU Denver. Students are strongly encouraged to finish course sequences (such as English Composition I & II or Calculus I, II & III) before transferring.
