Master of Science in Accounting and Financial
Management/Master of Science in Management
The purpose of the dual Master of Science (MS) in accounting and financial management/Master
of Science (MS) in management is to enable students to extend the breadth
and depth of their graduate studies beyond the specialties of accounting and financial
management. Based on the shared curricula of the programs, the dual degrees may be
earned for substantially fewer credits than if each program were completed separately.
Students can choose to complete the MS in accounting and financial management and
take an additional 18–21 credits to earn the MS in management with a specialization
in either accounting or financial management.
Program Requirements
Students who are interested in pursuing dual degrees must meet the admission requirements
of each program. Information on the MS in accounting and financial management
may be found on p. 48; the MS in management is described on p. 66.
Formats/Locations
Courses in accounting are offered online only; financial management courses are
offered in both online and classroom formats. Classes in the MS in management program
are offered online and at College Park and the Shady Grove Center. Students
should check the current Graduate Schedule of Classes to determine when courses will be
offered at specific locations.
