The most established program of its kind in Minnesota, our Master of Science in Accountancy has recently undergone a significant update and now includes more specialized content, unique professional development opportunities, and schedule flexibility. These content and structural changes have allowed our students to begin working earlier, while completing valuable, relevant accounting and business coursework to reach the required 150 credits hours of education for CPA licensure. Our graduates are recognized by corporate partners as being better prepared, more experienced and able to exhibit the professional and personal attributes that set them apart.
