Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Accounting and Financial<br />
Management/Master <strong>of</strong> Science in Management<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> the dual Master <strong>of</strong> Science (MS) in accounting and financial management/Master<br />
<strong>of</strong> Science (MS) in management is to enable students to extend the breadth<br />
and depth <strong>of</strong> their graduate studies beyond the specialties <strong>of</strong> accounting and financial<br />
management. Based on the shared curricula <strong>of</strong> the programs, the dual degrees may be<br />
earned for substantially fewer credits than if each program were completed separately.<br />
Students can choose to complete the MS in accounting and financial management and<br />
take an additional 18–21 credits to earn the MS in management with a specialization<br />
in either accounting or financial management.<br />
Program Requirements<br />
Students who are interested in pursuing dual degrees must meet the admission requirements<br />
<strong>of</strong> each program. Information on the MS in accounting and financial management<br />
may be found on p. 48; the MS in management is described on p. 66.<br />

<strong>of</strong>fered in both online and classroom formats. Classes in the MS in management program<br />
are <strong>of</strong>fered online and at <strong>College</strong> Park and the Shady Grove Center. Students<br />

<strong>of</strong>fered at specific locations.<br />
