When you join the master’s in accounting and analytics cohort, you and your fellow students have so many opportunities to gain life experiences in and outside the classroom. During all semesters, you will attend the Speakers Series to hear firsthand from working professionals. You will also be able to mentor with people working in the field through Career Coaching. Social events give you and your peers a chance to relax and deepen your relationships with each other and members of the community. You will also take a class trip to New York City, San Franciso or Washington D.C., as well as a campus visit to a local firm.

Important Activity Information
The only program prerequisites are ACCT 2301 and ACCT 2302, or equivalent. Prerequisites courses are built into the program but will not count toward the degree plan. If a student has passed the prerequisite course with a course grade of B or above, then the course can be waived. No tuition/fee credits or refunds will be given for such waivers that are granted. In addition, students opting to waive out of these courses will not be able to substitute any other courses. The program is a lock-step program with no flexibility for choosing electives.
The internship course has a flexible credit hour and will be tailored to the student’s need. For example, the internship course can be spread over the first year summer and second year fall and spring, with one credit hour each (if the student obtains an internship locally).
Academic Calendar Timeframes
- Pre-Session: Early August
