Answer 1

You'll want to meet with your academic advisor and go over your degree plan as soon as possible, either immediately before or immediately after you enroll for your first semester.

In the meantime...

Most bachelor's degree programs require some of the same basics, include two courses in English composition/rhetoric; two courses in U.S. history; and courses in math, government, social sciences, visual arts, and possibly some others.

Business degrees in particular may have somewhat more stringent requirements in terms of math (finite, calculus, and statistics), as well as computer literacy and professional speaking.

In addition, most business majors will be required to take entry-level courses in management, marketing, economics (both macro and micro), finance, and law. More advanced required courses typically include production/operations management, and strategy and policy.

In accounting, at minimum you'll be taking principles of accounting (usually two semesters); intermediate accounting (two or three semesters); auditing; advanced financial accounting; taxation; accounting information systems; and costs and budgets or managerial accounting. Depending on the program, you may be required to take courses in government accounting, accounting for non-profit agencies, advanced courses in taxation--there's a fair amount of variation.

There's no substitute for you advisor, though--he or she will help you sign a degree plan, which will guarantee that if the university changes degree requirements while you're enrolled, the changes won't affect your scheduled graduation.

Depends on the college or university you go to. The requirements vary greatly from place-to-place. Figure out where you want to go, then talk to an academic advisor from there. There is really no easy way to answer this here without more information. Sorry!
