The M.S. in Accounting (MAcc) program at Bloomfield College
is designed to prepare students for careers in corporations,
government agencies, and accounting firms. Students who
seek a graduate degree in accounting are those who wish to explore
quantitative and computation finance in order to help businesses
forecast financial situations and make wise financial decisions.The
economic outlook for people with advanced degrees in accounting
is particularly strong right now. According to the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, over the next 10 years, there will be an 18% increase in
accounting jobs and a strong demand for professionals with advanced
degrees in accounting.
The M.S. in Accounting program provides a strong technical foundation
as well as a practical understanding of the context within which business
decisions must be evaluated. This ten-course cohort program is
designed to be completed in two academic years with courses being
offered year round. In addition to a bachelor's degree, this curriculum
allows students to meet the 150-hour rule currently required by most
states in order to get a CPA license.
Classes for the M.S. in Accounting are taught in a
rigorous yet informal seminar format that encourages a
culture of collaboration between and among the faculty
and students. The relatively small size of the program
contributes to a friendly, supportive environment that
promotes student success.
