The accounting services field is evolving to encompass both wider scope and greater specialization. Significant shifts in the accounting profession demand enhanced and modernized educational curricula. A four-year undergraduate degree no longer suffices as the baseline education for professional accountants. While candidates can take the Uniform CPA Exam with just 120 college credit hours, Virginia's Board of Accountancy mandates 150 semester hours for CPA licensure. Moreover, career opportunities for accounting graduates have multiplied substantially, necessitating focused coursework in areas like forensic accounting, internal auditing, cost management, tax strategy, and more. Consequently, the optimal framework for accounting education combines a comprehensive bachelor's degree with a specialized Master of Science (MS) in Accounting. Old Dominion University's MS in Accounting program caters to working professionals and traditional students alike, with evening classes available for flexibility.
