The Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) offers an intensive, concentrated learning experience focused on accounting. This specialization is designed for those pursuing Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification and careers in public, industry, and non-profit accounting.
The Master of Science in Taxation (MST) serves individuals who are interested in expanding or continuing their education in taxation. It is a specialized degree for tax professionals.
The combined degree program, Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Science in Accounting, offers students the opportunity to complete both an undergraduate and a graduate degree, meeting both their unique personal academic and career goals. Pursuing a combined degree can reduce the cost and total time required to complete both.
