MA/MS in Accounting and Related Services

The accounting master's at Stern is a one-year program that equips students to sit for New York's CPA certification. Classes take place at the school's Greenwich Village location. It is a licensure-qualifying course of study registered with the state education department. Candidates must complete minimum semester hours in career accounting and general business across undergraduate and graduate study, and advising pathways help students meet the content areas. Applicants should check other states' boards for different licensure rules. A GMAT or GRE waiver program is available. Prospective applicants should consult the full bulletin entry, which lists the required courses, a sample plan of study and the policies that apply to a given entry year, because details can change between cohorts and are best confirmed with the department directly. The entry also links to department pages and admissions guidance that go beyond what the bulletin summary covers.
