Overview
The Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) program at Kent State University is designed for students interested in specializing in accounting, auditing and taxation. Students in the MSA program take accounting courses along with courses in the various business disciplines allowing them to become well-rounded professionals. The combination of coursework with the option of an internship provides students with a strong theoretical foundation in accounting as well as an understanding of the practical applications of the discipline. The program also emphasizes the development of communication, interpersonal, and analytical problem solving skills through the use of case studies, team and individual projects, and computers for accounting and auditing applications.
The goal of the MSA program is to provide students with a quality master's program in accounting that prepares them for responsible leadership positions in public, corporate, nonprofit, and government accounting. Upon the completion of the program and 150 semester credit hours, students will be considered as having met the educational requirement for sitting for the CPA exam in the State of Ohio.
