MPA - Accountancy and Information Systems

This program is primarily oriented toward preparation for careers in professional accountancy and is designed to meet the formal requirements for students to sit for the CPA examination. The Accountancy and Information Systems sequence allows students to emphasize the study of information systems related to accounting.

Accountants provide the information necessary to determine and evaluate the long-term and short-term financial stability of companies, organizations, or individuals. They track expenses, offer detailed insights about expenditures and future directions, and prepare, analyze, and verify financial documents. Accountants seek ways to enhance financial efficiency, maintain public records, and ensure that taxes are paid properly.

Accounting is a versatile degree. Graduates with a major in accounting may find employment in various areas of business, including sales, production management, client management, product development, procurement, general management, banking, and financial planning.
