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. As software programs make transaction processing functions more efficient, businesses increasingly are turning to accountants for skills that go beyond traditional areas of expertise. 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 program is open to full-time and part-time students. Students may enter the program in August, January, or during the summer.
