Ringkasan program

This program is designed to meet two important educational objectives: First, when combined with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, the program allows students to earn the additional credits necessary to meet the 150-hour requirement to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in Maryland and in many other states. The CPA exam includes a section called Business Environment and Concepts, which includes topics related to finance and information technology. Students planning to take the CPA exam are best served by a program of study that emphasizes the same subject matter as that which appears on the exam. Second, by incorporating courses in the related disciplines of financial management and information technology, the program complements the technical skills acquired in an undergraduate accounting education. Graduates of this program will have the flexibility needed to accelerate their public accounting careers or to pursue careers in other areas such as management accounting, internal auditing, accounting for governmental or other nonprofit entities and management consulting. Although the program is designed to complement an undergraduate degree in accounting, the program can also accommodate students without undergraduate degrees in accounting. Students who meet the admission requirements for graduate study in the School of Business are admitted to the program but are required to satisfy undergraduate accounting degree equivalency in conjunction with completion of the program. These students will need to take the preparatory courses listed below in addition to the required 30 hours in the accounting and business advisory services.
