The Master of Professional Accountancy (M.P.A.) program focuses on applying accounting principles as a strategic tool for analyzing business and public sector challenges, while training students for careers in public accounting firms, corporate settings, or government agencies. Students learn diverse accounting frameworks and methodologies to develop problem-solving skills for managerial decision-making. The School of Accountancy recruits top-tier students who will become innovative leaders in the business community. This degree can be achieved through either a five-year integrated bachelor's/master's track or one year of postgraduate study following undergraduate completion. Graduates of the M.P.A. program typically fulfill the 150-credit prerequisite needed to qualify for the CPA examination in most states.
