Accounting, M.S.

Program Description

The Masters in Accounting Program in the School of Business at SUNY Geneseo (“MS”) meets the New York State CPA licensure requirements, and provides skills and knowledge expected for superior performance in the increasingly demanding accounting profession. Designed as a two-semester full-time program, students will normally complete the degree in one academic year. This time frame enhances the linkages between the courses in the program. Accounting courses cover topics that include financial, managerial, and tax accounting, advanced audit, accounting information systems, and other advanced accounting topics . The program also includes management, economics, and finance courses that expand students’ understanding of the equity market, economic environment, and contemporary business practices, and sharpen their leadership skills. 

Small classes, accessible faculty, and carefully designed curriculum all reflect the high quality of Geneseo’s accounting program.
