The MS Accountancy is our most popular program and more specialized than the MBA Accountancy. It is designed for students who have an accountancy or other business-related degree from an undergraduate institution.
Students in the MS program have an opportunity to shorten their program length through course waivers, depending on the courses completed in undergraduate study.
