The nine-month Master of Accounting is designed for students who possess an undergraduate degree in accounting and wish to apply for licensure as a Certified Public Accountant under California’s new accounting education rules. The challenging coursework goes beyond traditional accounting curriculum to emphasize important skills such as leadership, communication, professional ethics, and applied research. Students who do not have an undergraduate accounting degree are also eligible for the Master of Accounting program, but in most cases, will spend two or more years completing the coursework necessary for licensure as a Certified Public Accountant. Students must complete a minimum of 30 units with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in order to earn the Master of Accounting degree.
