The School of Accountancy in cooperation with the School of Law offers qualified students the opportunity to pursue a joint JD/MSA in Financial Forensics. This program leverages the respective strengths of the two professional disciplines and provides a focus in a niche that is currently in short supply. Students will develop legal and accounting knowledge and skills in financial forensics investigation, analysis, resolution, and prevention to address the various types of fraudulent activities faced in today’s global financial marketplace. Depending on their backgrounds, students may complete the program in one to three semesters beyond the time ordinarily needed to complete the JD. Graduates receive both Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) degrees. Upon graduation, students are expected to complete such licensure and certification examinations as the Ohio Bar, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, and Certified in Financial Forensics.
