Overview
\n<\/b>The Master of Science\u00a0in Accountancy is registered with New York State to satisfy the 150 hour licensure education requirement. The program is primarily intended for students who have the equivalent of an undergraduate accounting degree and are looking to increase their knowledge in the accounting field to either advance in their professional accounting career or to qualify to sit for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam. Students who may not have a background in accounting but desire an opportunity to broaden their capabilities and specialize in this area are afforded the option to do so with this program. These students would be required to include additional preparatory work in their program and would do that under the guidance of the program coordinator.<\/p>\n

The MS program accommodates both full-time and part-time students. Full-time students can complete the program within an 18 month period. Part-time completion will vary based on total number of credits taken each term. A program of study will be developed with the program coordinator which responds to student needs and the department\u2019s plan for course scheduling.<\/p>\n
