The master's degree builds upon the broad framework of the undergraduate degree in accounting. Graduate courses emphasize the study of current accounting literature, case studies, accounting theory, and written and verbal communication. Classes are purposely small to encourage interaction between the professor and each student. The master's in accounting provides a broad base in financial accounting theory, accounting research, and management information systems. Beyond this base, students may select courses in accounting, business, and behavioral sciences that meet their educational and professional goals.
Accreditation assures high standards in the master' s program.
The majority also have professional experience in public accounting, industry, or government. Candidates for the master's in accounting have diverse academic, professional, and business experience.
