Master a specialty.

By pursuing either Financial Reporting & Assurance or Tax Consulting, you’ll gain deep technical knowledge within your area of focus—yet your education won’t stop at hard skills. Learn the critical thinking and interpersonal savvy it takes to guide teams and clients with courses in leadership, decision making and project management.

Comprehend the big picture.

Classroom discussions and case studies will immerse you in the types of complex, multidimensional business situations you’ll face in professional practice. Be able to analyze the entire context within which business decisions are made.

Lead from the start.

Our management communication faculty will sharpen your ability to communicate and present complex and sensitive information at an executive level. Learn to build teams, give strategic advice and negotiate smarter.

By completion of the program, most students fulfill the 150-hour requirement for CPA licensure.

Check with the board of accountancy for the specific requirements of the state in which you plan to practice.

COLLABORATE

TO

GET AHEAD.

At McIntire, classes engage every student

through discussions, presentations and team-based exercises—a model that best resembles the workplace you’re about to enter. Drawing on different cultural and academic backgrounds, your classmates are ambitious yet open-minded. And your professors will challenge and support you. Together with these diverse minds, you’ll learn to look at today’s complex business challenges and develop creative solutions.

B E R E A D Y T O W O R K A N Y W H E R E .

As business becomes more globally connected, accountants are called to work all over the world. McIntire’s elective Global Commerce Immersion (GCI) courses pair on-campus seminars with a stint abroad during spring break or the January term. Changing locations annually, GCI courses tackle topics such as “Doing Business in Brazil” or “Consumers and Markets in India.” You’ll gain an in-depth understanding of the social, economic and cultural dynamics affecting today’s global business environment.

Courses are organized into three areas of emphasis. Together, these areas get you ready for professional practice.

Graduate students at McIntire are an impressive group of people. The variety of backgrounds— different undergrad programs, different countries, different interests—form a unique and stimulating learning environment.” – R O G E R M A R T I N M.S. in Accounting Program Director Accounting within context: Accounting Policy Taxes and Business Strategy
