Students in an MS in Accounting program can expect to complete 30 to 36 credit hours of coursework. Full time students could complete these programs in 12 to 18 months. The MS curriculum is similar to that of a Master of Accountancy (MAcc), and usually satisfies CPA licensure education requirements.
Earning a Masterâs degree in accounting can take as long as six years or as little as one year. Students who transition immediately from undergraduate studies to a Masterâs program usually need six years to complete their Bachelorâs and Masterâs degree programs.
