Master
of Science in Accounting
This program further prepares students for careers in public,
industrial, and not-for-profit accounting through advanced
study in financial and managerial accounting, auditing,
taxation, and accounting systems. It also is a foundation
for entrance into doctoral programs and other professional
studies.
Master
of Science in Taxation
This program provides graduate study concentrated in areas
such as partnership, corporation, and shareholder taxation,
the tax problems of employee retirement plans, and tax research.
It also is a foundation for entrance into doctoral programs
and other professional studies.
Concentrations
Concentrations in specialized fields of study can be obtained
under the non-tax Master of Science option. Concentrations
are in auditing and systems. Each concentration consists
of 3 or 4 specific courses. These courses fill the required
accounting or non-accounting electives in the Masters programs;
thus, no additional hours of
course work are required to obtain a concentration.

Foundation
Courses
The
graduate programs build on the students' technical competence
in undergraduate accounting and business courses. To provide
a background for successful study at the graduate level,
a series of preparatory courses or their equivalents must
be completed before enrolling in courses for graduate credit.
All
or part of the preparatory course requirements may be fulfilled
by courses taken at other universities. Students with undergraduate
degrees in accounting usually have satisfied all, or most,
of the preparatory course requirements. The preparatory
courses consist of the following: Accounting 2100, 3120,
3121, 3122, 3123, 3131, 3141, 3152, 3161; Business Administration
3010; Economics 1203, 1204; Finance 3300; Management 3401,
3402; Marketing 3501; Quantitative Methods 2785. (Business
Administration 4400 may be substituted for Business Administration
3010. Economics 4400 may be substituted for Economics 1203
and 1204. Finance 4400 may be substituted for Finance 3300.
Management 4400 may be substituted for Management 3401 and
3402. Marketing 4400 may be substituted for Marketing 3501.
Quantitative Methods 4400 may be substituted for Quantitative
Methods 2785.) A grade of "C" or better is required
in all preparatory courses. Accounting 3123 and 3141 are
not required in the Taxation Option.
