Enhance your career opportunities in one year with a master’s degree in professional accounting that not only makes you ready for higher-level positions in accounting but also helps you prepare for the CPA Exam. All students who can demonstrate proof of completing the prerequisite undergraduate courses can finish our MS in professional accounting program in just two semesters. The program builds on the candidate’s undergraduate accounting degree. Classes are small in size, with in-person instruction provided mostly by full-time faculty, many of whom are CPAs. The curriculum includes advanced courses in accounting, taxation, auditing and law, all geared to help you prepare for the CPA Exam and enhance your career. Our courses offer scheduling flexibility, with classes available in the evenings. Passing the different parts of the CPA Exam while in graduate school greatly increases your marketability. You’ll prepare for the CPA Exam with our dedicated online CPA Exam review program from Becker Professional Education, a leader in the exam-prep industry. You’ll receive intensive preparation for all four sections of the exam, giving you the opportunity to pass each section as you work toward graduation. We coordinate our professional accounting program with Becker to maximize the benefits you receive from their CPA Exam review program.
