The MS in Management – Accounting program is designed for students who have obtained baccalaureate degrees in fields other than accounting. The program emphasizes the development of both accounting skills and graduate-level application of theory, preparing students for mid- to senior level positions through a curriculum examining managerial accounting, taxation, accounting information systems, auditing, and business law. Completion of the degree satisfies the requirements to write the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) examination.

With a strong combination of professional and academic experience, the accounting, taxation, and business law faculty at the Lubar School are well known for their commitment to helping students succeed in their studies and preparing them for the accounting profession. The practice of accounting is ever-changing. To stay on top of new developments, Lubar accounting faculty are CPA-certified in the profession and closely connected with public and corporate accounting professionals. As PhD-qualified faculty, they also collaborate with other research scholars on current topics in financial accounting, managerial accounting, non-profit accounting, auditing, individual and corporate taxation, business law, and corporate governance.
