Program Overview

Master of Accounting Program

The Master of Accounting degree, offered by the Jones Graduate School of Business, is designed to enable students with a top-tier undergraduate education, regardless of their major, to complete the educational requirements for becoming a certified public accountant. Certified public accountants conduct independent audits and provide accounting, tax, and consulting services. The program prepares students to enter careers in public accounting, corporate accounting, management accounting, governmental accounting, financial analysis, and law enforcement.


Program Overview

Graduates of the program will excel in analytics, critical thinking, ethics, judgment, and communications, built on outstanding technical accounting skills. An understanding of the institutional and academic foundations of financial reporting will complement graduates' accounting expertise, along with proficiency in corporate finance, risk, and valuation.
