Choose one or more of the following concentrations. However, choosing more than one concentration will mean that you must complete all courses in all chosen concentrations before your degree can be conferred.

Accounting Concentration


Choose any three of the following graduate accounting courses from the Master of Accountancy program. However, it is important to understand that these courses presume you have earned at least 21 credit hours in junior and senior level accounting courses at the undergraduate level.  If you do not have that accounting foundational knowledge, you will find it very difficult to earn a passing grade in these courses.
