Master of Accountancy

Graduates of the Master of Accountancy program are well-prepared to become CPAs. Students may elect concentrations in either tax or audit. The program’s unique blend of courses provides a wealth of practical job-related knowledge as well as the topic coverage needed to successfully sit for the national Uniform CPA Examination. The Master of Accountancy program enhances mobility, as 48 states require at least 150 semester hours of education for a CPA license.

The breadth of our curriculum reflects the breadth of services performed by CPAs. In addition to a core of required courses in the major sub-fields of accounting, students opt for one of three specialized certificates:

Financial

Courses in financial reporting and corporate finance are sound preparation for public accounting, controllership, and corporate finance careers.

Taxation

This field is a well-established specialty of our department, and is excellent preparation for work in financial and tax planning.

Consulting

Students tailor this unique specialization to their own preferences, drawing on courses in information systems, e-commerce, marketing, and other business areas.

 
The Master of Accountancy program consists of 30 semester hours of coursework. It can be completed in one year of full-time study. Many of our students choose to pursue the program on a part-time basis, because of employment or family situations. To facilitate part-time study, we offer most of our graduate courses in the evening or late afternoon.
