MA/MS in Accounting and Related Services

The Master of Accountancy emphasizes graduate-level accounting and the business skills the profession considers critical in a changing environment. It is designed so that graduates can meet the educational requirements for Certified Public Accountant licensure. The curriculum totals 30 semester credit hours, and an elective CPA exam review course lets students earn credit while preparing for the test. The program accepts graduates from any major. Applicants whose undergraduate degree is not in accounting follow a tailored plan that usually adds a block of foundation courses, as many as 36 hours, ahead of the graduate coursework. The Graduate Admission office organizes an optional in-person orientation on the Milledgeville campus where new students meet peers, faculty and staff and learn about campus resources.
