Large and small organizations alike face critical decisions that often require the perspective of a professional accountant. Mergers, consolidations, capital investment, cost and risk management decisions, necessary to ensure organizational value and productivity, require a thorough examination and valuation of the impact of the income and balance sheets. The objective of the 30 credit hour Master of Accountancy is to provide candidates with the necessary skills and knowledge to begin successful careers as certified public accountants. Courses in the professional interest area may be chosen from any 600-level course offered by the College of Business and Public Administration. Inquire about Graduate Assistantships.
