A candidate may select a concentration other than Risk Management from one of the other areas of specialization such as Business Analytics, Cyber Security, Finance, Health Care Administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e56d260b-7fff-d07b-065e-57fffb4ee8d0\">An additional concentration may be added prior to the degree being awarded and requires an additional 6 credits over the standard degree credits. The additional concentration also can be pursued after the degree is granted, however, as this represents only six credits, federal financial aid is not applicable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e56d260b-7fff-d07b-065e-57fffb4ee8d0\">A candidate can combine the MSA with the MBA, thereby gaining the knowledge and skills required for professional accounting, while also developing an understanding of the broader management context. This will better prepare a graduate for senior management roles. A diploma for each degree is issued by the University at the same time the degree requirements are completed. When both degrees are pursued concurrently, a total of 54 credits is required, however, adding the MBA after graduation, may require slightly more credits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-e56d260b-7fff-d07b-065e-57fffb4ee8d0\">A candidate who has an MBA from another institution may complete the MS in Accounting degree program in 24 credits as 6 credits may be considered for waivers at the discretion of the Program Director.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Level I: Core Courses (15 Credits)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>These courses provide the foundation for the MS in Accounting.\u00a0 It is highly recommended that a student follow these courses in sequence.<\/p>\n<table class=\"sc_courselist\" width=\"100%\"><colgroup><col class=\"codecol\"\/><col class=\"titlecol\"\/><col align=\"char\" char=\".\" class=\"hourscol\"\/><\/colgroup><tbody><tr class=\"even firstrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><span class=\"code_bubble\" data-code-bubble=\"AC-501\">AC-501<\/span><\/td><td>Managerial Accounting <sup>*<\/sup><\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><span class=\"code_bubble\" data-code-bubble=\"AC-520\">AC-520<\/span><\/td><td>Financial Accounting &amp; Reporting<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\"><td class=\"codecol\"><span class=\"code_bubble\" data-code-bubble=\"AC-541\">AC-541<\/span><\/td><td>Internal Controls \/ Sarbox<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\"><td class=\"codecol\"><span class=\"code_bubble\" data-code-bubble=\"AC-543\">AC-543<\/span><\/td><td>Forensic Accounting\/Internal Auditing<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even lastrow\"><td class=\"codecol\"><span class=\"code_bubble\" data-code-bubble=\"AC-553\">AC-553<\/span><\/td><td>Corporate &amp; Partnership Taxation<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">3<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"listsum\"><td colspan=\"2\">Total Credits<\/td><td class=\"hourscol\">15<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n<h2><strong>Level II: Concentration (9-12 Credits)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span id=\"docs-internal-guid-eb9a9448-7fff-ac8e-8cdc-8806506fd385\">Concentrations focus the candidate on a specific area to achieve depth of knowledge.
