Bachelor of Science in Accounting program guide
A Capella-style hierarchy adapted to Phoenix: current program path, exact catalog class, then verified Week links or the live registered classroom control point.
This active public path exposes 29 distinct class codes across the curriculum groups below. Alternatives and electives remain under their published headings; appearance on this map is not a claim that every student takes every listed option.
Current program identity
The Bachelor of Science in Accounting (BSACC) is designed to provide knowledge and skills necessary to an accounting career. Topics include, key accounting and business coursework, financial accounting, managerial accounting, and auditing and taxation. In addition to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the program also covers the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Students are also exposed to varied business disciplines including economics, statistics, law, corporate finance, and marketing to provide the general business overview and context necessary for a career in accounting. The program also addresses professional values, communications and leadership skills, strategic and critical thinking skills, and technology skills of the professional accounting environment. Each state sets forth standards required to be eligible to take the CPA exam and apply for licensure or certification as a CPA. While this program was designed with consideration for the standards proposed by the National Association of State Boards of Accounting (NASBA), the University of Phoenix cannot, and will not, provide any assurance that completion of this program will allow a successful student to qualify within the student's specific jurisdiction. Potential applicants should check with the appropriate organization within their jurisdiction to determine requirements. States frequently change their requirements for examination. There is no assurance that at the time of degree completion the specific jurisdiction's requirements will be consistent with the requirements at
The 2026-2027 University of Phoenix Online Academic Catalog is the public identity source for this Bachelor path and program code BSACC. Its program table supplies the mapped class codes and titles; the catalog course guide supplies descriptions where published. The map preserves pathways and options rather than presenting every listed class as universally required.
This is a traditional, letter-graded program. Where a current official program source states a five-, six-, or eight-Week class duration, the canonical class page links exactly that many positional Week manuals. Otherwise the registered classroom remains the honest cadence boundary.
Before scheduling support, reconcile this map with the current academic plan. Confirm catalog year, modality, admission status, prerequisites, transfer work, electives, substitutions, clinical placement, practicum or residency requirements, and advisor approval. Preserve alternatives as alternatives. A class listed inside an option or pathway is not automatically required for every student.

26 mapped class code(s) also occur in official Phoenix program contexts that state 5-Week classes. Those canonical class pages link the exact supported Week positions. The registered classroom still owns the real Week topic, assessment name, directions, rubric, and deadline.
For each registered class, copy section, instructor, start and end dates, due-day pattern, time zone, grading model, late policy, required technology, and final-submission window from MyPhoenix and the registered classroom. Then inventory the real work: discussions, replies, quizzes, papers, cases, presentations, projects, labs, simulations, competency assessments, clinical or practicum records, and exam-preparation blocks.
A Week number is a position, not an assessment identity. Preserve the exact live title, directions, rubric version, template, permitted sources and tools, point value or weight, file type, deadline, and submission location before production. Announcements that amend a requirement belong in the same control packet.
Build the session board
Give every obligation one row with class code, exact registered classroom label, Week or date, due time and time zone, points, weight, competency result, dependency, evidence need, permitted tools, current status, feedback status, and next action. Keep different work types separate because a discussion, quantitative problem, presentation, clinical record, competency assessment, and proctored-exam preparation block do not share one completion test.
Work backward from the deadline. Reserve intake time for directions and rubric, evidence time for research or data, production time for the actual deliverable, and a delivery pass for citations, accessibility, filename, file type, export, and upload rendering. A short class compresses these blocks; it does not remove them.
Reconcile after every posted result. Use raw points only when the syllabus is points-based; calculate weighted categories independently when weights control. Keep full precision until display and track any separate exam-average, clinical, competency, attendance, or progression floor as its own gate.
Turn the live rubric into acceptance tests
Directions and rubric are separate contracts. Directions control scenario, audience, length, format, source limits, tools, and submission rules. Rubric rows control scoring evidence. Translate each requirement into a yes-or-no test and assign it a visible destination in the paper, calculation, presentation, care document, project file, or discussion.
Read verbs literally. Describe requires accurate coverage; compare requires a visible basis; analyze requires relationships and implications; evaluate requires criteria and judgment; recommend requires a defensible choice tied to evidence. Universal words such as all, each, and every change the minimum complete response.
Run content quality before delivery quality. Check coverage, logic, evidence quality, calculations, and consistency across prose, tables, figures, slides, and appendices. Then check citation matching, template fields, accessibility, filename, file type, and rendered export. A polished file cannot compensate for a missing decision, and good analysis can still fail when the wrong file is uploaded.
Clinical, professional, and exam boundaries
Students perform patient care, clinical decisions, skills, simulations, laboratory activity, practicum or rotation hours, preceptor communication, signatures, experience logs, group participation, identity-verified activity, and final submission. Remove protected health, client, employee, and proprietary information before any tutoring review.
Proctored, standardized, competency, dosage-calculation, readiness, and licensure-related assessments are preparation-only. Legitimate support includes a study blueprint, practice questions, rationale review, calculation practice, concept explanation, rehearsal, and readiness decisions. It does not include entering an authenticated environment or completing the real assessment.
