Accountancy, MSA

There are basically two key reasons why the MSA program starts so early. First, by starting to take accounting classes during the summer, our students can become eligible to take the US CPA exam in the spring semester. We structure our MSA program to ensure that those students who want to take the US CPA exam can do so either while they are still in school, before they start working in the US or before they are required to return to their home country. If we started our program in the fall semester, it would be difficult to structure our program to allow students to start taking these exams during the spring or before they would start working. No, the MSA program is designed for students with a variety of different backgrounds. Students will be individually placed in courses based on their undergraduate coursework and be provided with the tools and knowledge to become successful in the business world.

We are looking for well-rounded applicants that may have varying amounts of previous accounting coursework and/or experience. We expect you to have done well academically. We also want to know what other interests you have. The resume and personal statement is your opportunity to share with us something else about yourself and what your goals are so that we can get to know you better and be able to evaluate you not just on your grades and test scores when we make a decision. For example, what extracurricular activities are you involved in? Have you done volunteer work, been involved in clubs, student groups, or athletics? What leadership roles have you held? What did you learn from the work experiences you completed?
