Choosing which degree to pursue depends on your interests and career goals. At DeVry, for example, our Master’s in Accounting and Financial Management program allows you to choose an emphasis in General Accounting, CMA Exam Preparation, Finance or CPA Exam Preparation. Core courses include Financial Accounting, Corporate Finance and Managerial Accounting.
On the other hand, our Master’s in Accounting program is designed specifically for individuals with an undergraduate specialization in accounting or finance. This program can benefit students preparing for the CPA exam as well as licensed CPAs furthering their education in order to pursue additional career goals, such as teaching. Coursework covers topics such as Current Issues in Accounting, and Professional Research for Accountants. Students seeking to take our CPA exam may also enroll in the CPA Exam Preparation courses.
If you are interested in pursuing professional licensure such as a CPA, this program can help you prepare as well as work toward pursuing employment in one of the following positions:
Keep in mind that the requirements for these positions are not consistent across all employers and that additional credentials, such as a professional certification, may be required.
We think so! Many companies require accounting and finance professionals to hold a master's degree and some may also require professional certifications in addition to their master's degree. By earning a master's degree here at DeVry, you can gain an understanding of high-level accounting and financial management concepts and also prepare yourself to pursue opportunities such as the CPA exam at the same time.
