Master of Science in Accounting and Information
Technology/Master of Science in Accounting and Financial
Management
The purpose of the dual Master of Science (MS) in accounting and information technology/Master
of Science (MS) in accounting and financial management is to enable
students to extend the breadth and depth of their graduate studies beyond the specialties
of accounting and information technology. Based on the shared curricula of both
programs, the dual degrees may be earned in 54 credits, which is substantially fewer
credits than if each program were completed separately.
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 information technology
may be found on p. 50; the MS in accounting and financial management is
described on p. 48.
Formats/Locations
Courses in accounting are offered online only; financial management, management
information systems, and computer systems management courses are offered in both
online and classroom formats. Students should check the current Graduate Schedule of
Classes to determine when courses will be offered at specific locations.
Curriculum Requirements
Students in the dual MS in accounting and information technology/MS in accounting
and financial management program must complete the MS in accounting and information
technology first. Requirements for that degree are listed on p. 50.
