Master of Science [M.S] [Accounting] From University of Texas

The programme offered by University of Texas Arlington is designed for individuals who hold an undergraduate degree in accounting who wish to specialize in an area of accounting other than taxation.

The required accounting coursework includes accounting courses that may have been completed by the student at the undergraduate level (entities tax, advanced accounting, governmental accounting). If the student has recently earned credit for one or more of these courses then the related graduate requirements are waived and there is a corresponding increase in graduate accounting electives. 

Students completing the department's BS-Accounting degree will have completed two of these three courses and will therefore have 12 hours of accounting electives.

Careers

Accountants serve as analysts, consultants, and problem-solvers in business and government. Earning an accounting degree opens up a diverse array of career opportunities including: partner in an international accounting or consulting firm, corporate controller, chief financial officer, director of internal auditing, financial planner, or commercial lender. Compensation is highly competitive with excellent geographic mobility. Upward career mobility is outstanding.

Students of accounting learn to use and control information technology systems, prepare and analyze financial reports, structure business transactions, and develop effective business plans. Individuals who like being challenged by a variety of situations and technologies and who enjoy identifying, analyzing, and solving problems are well-suited to majoring in accounting.
