Accounting MS, MS/MBA, 4+1
Business & Economics
The objective of the MS in Accounting is to extend the education of qualified students into advanced study in the field of accounting. In taking the student beyond the level of study offered by an undergraduate program in accounting, the MS provides additional preparation for careers in public accounting, industry, and government. The MS in Accounting may also be used to establish a foundation for further study at the PhD level in preparation for an academic career.
Students in the MS in Accounting may pursue either a full-time or a part-time course of study. Full-time students with an undergraduate accounting major from an accredited AACSB college should be able to complete the program within one calendar year.
Applicants can be considered for admission directly into the MS in Accounting Program or conditionally via ELI-CAP (English Language Institute). Current UD undergraduate students can be considered for admission to the Accelerated BS/MS in Accounting. A dual degree in the MBA & MS in Accounting programs is available to graduate students.
