The Master of Science (MS) in Accounting
The Master of Science (MS) in Accounting is a full-time, 30-credit professional graduate degree program. Graduates of the program will be well prepared to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam and will increase their employment marketability both nationally and internationally.
The curriculum is sufficiently flexible to accommodate students with different educational backgrounds. Students with an undergraduate degree in accounting will be able to complete the program in two terms. Such students will receive advanced training in accounting and also have the opportunity to broaden their skills by taking a variety of graduate courses outside of accounting. Students who have little or no previous coursework in accounting but are interested in preparing themselves for an accounting career are also encouraged to apply to the program. Depending on their individual backgrounds, such students will complete certain accounting courses that are prerequisites for specific MS program courses. For these students, it is possible to complete the program in about 20 months.
