    About

    In an accounting industry being rapidly transformed by technological innovation, you need more than just mastery of theory and practice. Employers in the public and corporate sectors are looking for accountants with technical skills in data science—and the ability to innovate when faced with challenges.

    In our MS in Accounting program, you'll deepen your understanding of advanced accounting principles and management best practices, while you also develop the data analytics skills you need to thrive in the new landscape of big data. Building on your undergraduate degree in accounting, you’ll take five advanced courses on contemporary and emerging issues in the field, plus five additional courses in your chosen track of audit or tax.

    You’ll complete your degree in December and be eligible to sit for the CPA exam right away, positioning you for employment before the accounting industry’s busy season. Over the past five years, 95% of our graduates have received full-time job offers within three months of graduation.
