Master of Science (MS) in Accounting

The online Master of Science in Accounting at Maryville University is designed to equip students with advanced accounting skills and business acumen necessary for leadership roles in the field. This program is particularly beneficial for those aiming to become certified public accountants (CPAs), as it helps fulfill the 150 credit hours required for CPA licensure. The curriculum is aligned with the CPA Evolution initiative, ensuring that students are prepared for the latest changes in the CPA Exam. Students can complete the program in as little as 12 months if they have a relevant bachelor's degree, or they can opt for a bridge program if they come from a non-accounting background. The program offers two specializations: Business Analysis and Reporting, and Information Systems and Controls, allowing students to tailor their education to their career goals. With a focus on practical skills and knowledge, graduates are well-prepared for various roles, including accounting manager, auditor, and financial analyst.
