Professional Accountancy MS

The Master of Science in Professional Accountancy  program is designed to provide students with professional accountancy skills to compete in the rapidly changing accounting world. The program aligns with the SJU mission and meets the needs of students seeking the required 150 credit hours necessary to earn licensure as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in Pennsylvania and most other states. With technology enhanced coursework and in-depth case applications beyond the traditional undergraduate offerings, this program is also designed to allow students to gain proficiency in other business disciplines.  Our program is unique in that students can customize their course selection to match their professional goals. 

Built upon our excellent working relationship with major accounting firms in the area, we have actively sought their input in designing the curriculum, in order to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary to become ethically responsible leaders in the global accountancy profession. This program provides an academic program with a curriculum reflecting the realities of a fast changing global marketplace, recognizes the emergence of information technology as the most important driving force in revolutionizing business practices, and acknowledges the importance of professional ethics in all business activities and the value of life-long learning.
