M.S. in Professional Accounting

The Future of Business Is Yours
Design your M.S. in professional accounting (MSA) experience at the Whitman School. The Joseph I. Lubin School of Accounting offers an MSA program that pairs a comprehensive curriculum with real-world experience to produce confident and competent practicing accountants, consultants and managers.

Our program accommodates students with an undergraduate accounting degree, as well as those with an undergraduate degree in another academic area who may need to take additional courses. Students who complete the MSA program are able to sit for the Certified Professional Accounting exam. The Whitman School is AACSB accredited, and our accounting program is registered as a New York State CPA licensing program. Please refer to https://nasba.org/stateboards/ for more information regarding licensure requirements.

Most, if not all, M.S. students are eligible for merit-based scholarships.

We offer a flexible, elective schedule so you can integrate different aspects of business into your degree, and participate in professional associations, seminars and networking events to give you an edge as you work with Whitman’s dedicated Career Center to pursue a professional position. Many of the leading firms, such as Deloitte, EY, KPMG and PwC, consistently put our MSA graduates to work.
