The Master of Professional Accounting (MPrA) program offers the highest degree of concentration in financial and managerial accounting, auditing and systems that are needed by accounting professionals in public accountancy and industry. Through this program, students can satisfy the requirement for 30 additional semester hours of education necessary to sit for the CPA exam (refer to the Frequently Asked Questions section below for more insight about these requirements). Our program is among the few that are fully accredited by AACSB International.

The MPrA is an ideal program for those who will seek employment with public accounting firms as auditors, or with industry or government as accounting and information specialists. Emphasis is placed on the development and ongoing evolution of generally accepted accounting principles and auditing standards, product costing trends and issues and familiarization with the computer as an important tool of the accounting professional. The MPrA is designed for the student who has taken the accounting and related courses required for an undergraduate major in accounting. These students should be able to complete the MPrA in a year or less provided they enroll as full-time students.
