Program Details

The Flex Online MS Accounting Program has three tracks for students: Audit, Tax or Advanced Accounting.

Students who are transitioning to accounting from another field will take Foundational Core courses, Common Core Courses, and select electives to focus on either an audit or tax track.

Students with an accounting undergraduate degree follow our Advanced Accounting Track which includes Common Core Courses plus electives from both the audit and tax tracks. This will also be coupled with an independent study or research course or selected electives in other fields such as MIS or Management based on a review of the undergraduate transcript.

Upon admission to the program, program staff will enroll students in the appropriate classes based on a review of their transcripts, CPE eligibility requirements, and student interest.
