The MS in Accountancy (MSA) program offers a one year accounting degree. Our students include those with limited prior accounting education as well as students with an undergraduate degree in accounting. The MSA core curriculum applies to all of our students. However, for those students who have previously taken significantly equivalent courses to any of those in our core curriculum, we will work with our students to find a suitable replacement to recognize the sufficiency of their prior accounting education. Our MSA program prepares students for success in accounting careers and provides the academic prerequisites for candidates who wish to take the United States Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.
会计学硕士（MSA）课程提供一年的会计学位。我们的学生包括以前会计教育程度有限的学生以及会计专业本科学位的学生。MSA核心课程适用于我们所有的学生。但是，对于那些以前修过与我们核心课程相当的课程的学生，我们将与学生一起寻找合适的替代者，以确认他们以前的会计教育的充分性。我们的MSA课程为学生在会计职业生涯中取得成功做好准备，并为希望参加美国统一注册会计师（CPA）考试的候选人提供学术先决条件。
