The job market for accountants — especially for those who graduate from Purdue’s industry-leading, one-year Master’s in Accounting (MSA) program — is strong. Around the world, there are many accounting, auditing and financial manager opportunities available. A Purdue master’s degree prepares you for high-profile accounting positions and equips you with the knowledge and skills necessary to quickly and successfully complete the Uniform CPA Exam so you can concentrate on your career.
The curriculum in the Daniels program is directly tied to the information I will need to know when taking my CPA exam, which is the reason the majority of my program is getting their MSA.
