Program overview

What Monroe University says about their program:

The Master of Science in Accounting from our King Graduate School can help you fulfill that potential. It’s designed for people like you: people ready to advance their professional accounting careers.

Our MS in Accounting program will do more than arm you with the specialized technical knowledge you’ll need to take the Uniform CPA Examination. It will prepare you to thrive in whichever career path you choose. Whether your goal is to work in private industry, government, the nonprofit sector, or even one of the Big Four accounting firms, you’ll have both the confidence and the credentials to succeed.
