Westfield State University will host a hybrid information session for the Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) program at 6 p.m. September 27 on Zoom and in-person in Scanlon Hall’s Loughman Living Room.
The graduate program is designed to foster leadership skills and prepare students for successful careers in public and private accounting. It allows students to complete the additional 30-credit hours necessary to fulfill the educational requirements for the Certified Public Accountancy (CPA) license in Massachusetts and several other states.
The program offers a foundation curriculum for students who have an undergraduate business degree but lack the necessary coursework in accounting, to complete a series of prerequisite courses as part of the master’s program. The advanced curriculum is for students with an undergraduate major or concentration in accounting. It is comprised of 10 courses (the majority are offered in a hybrid format and certain courses are 100 percent online) that can be completed in only two semesters. The MSA program offers students flexibility and affordability to achieve a greater degree of sophistication in accounting.
Information session attendees will have an opportunity to speak with faculty and members of the Outreach Team about the program and its application process. The $50 application fee will be waived for all attendees. To RSVP, visit www.GoBackNow.com. For more information, call 413-572-8461 or email graduate@westfield.ma.edu.
