About
Do you have your sights set on an accounting career? Are you interested in all aspects of a career in accounting and related fields?
The master of science in accounting (MSA) program at East Carolina University prepares you for an accounting career and for successful completion of the CPA exam. Students gain in-depth knowledge of auditing, taxation, financial accounting, cost accounting, and accounting systems, plus an overview of management in profit and nonprofit organizations. The MSA program integrates the content of the certified public accountant, certified internal auditor, and certified management accountant professional examinations.
Our MSA program is designed for both business and non-business undergraduates. It is completely self-contained, requiring no prerequisite business experience or course work for admission. We customize the program to fit each student based on past academic experience and future career goals. The program is very flexible; you can take between one to five classes each semester.
ECU Advantage
One unique aspect of ECU's MSA program is that students sit for the CPA exam in the last semester of the program. This gives our students a competitive advantage when applying for jobs after graduation. The pass rates for ECU MSAs has well exceeded the national averages for all four parts of the CPA exam with several top 25 national performances.
In addition, ECU's College of Business has been AACSB accredited since 1967. AACSB is the premier accrediting body for schools and colleges of business internationally.
