Master of Science in Accounting

We are in the midst of an informational and technological revolution that is changing every facet of business and commerce. Today's accountant must be able to offer sound business advice and communicate complex financial information in nontechnical terms. Public accountants who once concentrated on cost containment and reporting functions are now serving as consultants on matters such as business strategies and revenue enhancement initiatives. Likewise, accounting managers in the corporate world are becoming long-range planners, finding themselves more deeply involved in major decision making.

The Department of Accounting offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) degree. The program provides graduate education that prepares students to meet professional practice challenges in public, private, and not-for-profit accounting. Graduates should be prepared for meeting the 150-hour CPA examination requirement, and entrance into, or advancement within, their chosen careers.

The MSA courses are taught by Bradley’s fulltime faculty, who each hold one or more accounting certifications: Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant, Certified Internal Auditor, Certified Fraud Examiner, or Chartered Accountant.

Less that 170 institutions in the world have Bradley's combination of business and accounting accreditation. Our accreditation is the same as large state universities, such as the University of Illinois at Urbana - Champaign, University of Iowa, or University of Wisconsin - Madison. AACSB accreditation means that you have access to the highest quality classes, teachers, and students in the world.

The program is open to full-time and part-time students. Students may enter the program in August, January, or during the summer.

Application information can be found at Bradley's Graduate School. If you have any questions, please contact the MSA program director, Dr. John Gillett, at jwg@bradley.edu.
