How long will it take to get a Master's degree in Accounting?
I am interested in going back to school for an Accounting degree & I would love to get my Master's. The only thing is that I am a single mother & it would be necessary for me to do it online. So I was wondering about how long it would take to get it?

The length of time really varies online. With a lot of online schools they will quote you shorter times if you can spend more time on the computer/doing class work. I was looking at taking a year long course in forensic nursing (have my BSN) and they said if I was able to learn and work more quickly at it that I could be done in as short a time as 6 months. That's just an example. Obviously a Master's in accounting would take longer. Good luck and go for it. My cousin is a CPA and can work her schedule around her children and does very well.

Many schools offer a masters in accounting. If you don't have an undergraduate accounting education, you may be required to take some introductory courses before you start on the graduate courses. An alternative is to apply for an MBA, which would give you an excellent combination with your engineering degree. You may be able to find a suitable combination at http://officialmbaguide.org. The site is a free public service and you can search for schools that offer MBAs in combination with a masters in accounting.

How many years does it take to complete Master Degree program in Accounting in the United States?

Most people will take a year off to complete their MAcc and take the CPA exams during this time. You will want to finish it quickly so you can get back into the workforce. Note this is assuming you have met all the undergrad level accounting prereqs, else you will need to do that and that in itself can take well over a year if you need to start from scratch.
2
Don't think in years, think in semester hours of credit. Then do the calculation for time to completion based on how many classes you take over how many semesters. A typical master's in accounting will be about 36 semester hours. There will probably not be a thesis requirement so all 36 hours are taught. If you take 9 hours per semester over 2 semesters per year (fall/spring) then that's about 2 years. Typical for people working for a living. If you take 12 hours in fall/spring and 6 hours in summer - you'd wrap in about a year plus a semester. Fall - Spring - Summer - Fall. If you enter a program that is 45 semester hours, it will take longer. If you do one that is 30 semester hours, a little less. How many hours is required depends on the school. Some MBA programs with a concentration in accounting can run upward of 60 semester hours.

SSBS: One, relatively unknown, but growing field that you could consider is business valuation. Think about a business valuation firm like a company that does appraisals on real estate, but in this case, the appraisal is being done on the value of a business. Depending on the purpose for which the valuation is needed, the challenge is to determine the value of the business as of today, as of some point in the past, as of some point in the future, or some combination of all of the above. A company might seek a valuation as part of a merger or acquisition process - to determine what would be a reasonable price to pay for the company. A business owner might seek a valuation as part of a divorce or as part of the dissolution of a group of owners or partners - to determine how each person should be fairly compensated for their interest in the company. Courts require valuations as part of lawsuit settlements. Upon the death of a business owner, valuations are needed to split the proceeds amongst heirs. Businesses can be valuated as a going concern (as if they were going to remain in operation), or they can be valuated for dissolution value. I don't know if any of that sounds the least bit interesting to you, but it's a highly lucrative profession. A proper valuation is a major project that involves site visits, interviews with key personnel, auditing of the books, research into economic market conditions both within and outside the industry, etc., etc. Companies pay tens of thousands of dollars for a full-scale valuation. I was involved in this industry for a while, and it's the kind of rare opportunity that combines accounting and economics. You might want to check it out. Wikipedia has a credible introduction to the field, and there are a number of websites that provide additional information. If that's something you'd be curious about, you'll have to complete education in the process, and earn the appropriate certifications and credentials. The Institute of Business Appraisers is one organization that provides business valuation training. I hope that helps you - good luck!

this is a homework question of introduction to managerial accounting, the name of the chapter is "operating budgets: bridging planning and control". the teacher wants us to work on an example that a university library prepares an annual master budget, and asks us to prepare 3 individual budgets that would be part of the master budget the thing is I really don't understand what a master budget means. so i dont even understand the hint from the teacher that "direct labor budget and direct material budget won't make sense here" anyone can give me a clue so i can continue with the homework?

The master budget lays out the general expenses and income for the whole library. The individual budgets use their alloted amounts under the master budget to figure out their own division's expenses and income.

Is there a difference btwn a Master of Accounting and Master of Science in Accounting
Is there a difference btwn a Master of Accounting and Master of Science in Accounting?
I will be starting on my MBA at UTampa, with an accounting concentration, in the January. I have an Applied Econ degree from FSU, and I felt this is the best way to ease into the accounting arena. However, is the MAcc better than the MSA? I plan to take the CPA exam upon completion of both (MBA and MSA) degrees.

No, they are the same. Master of Accounting is just a different way to put it. They are both Master of science, Accounting degrees. Good Luck, Also taking the CPA exam only requires a Bachelor's of Science, Accounting, and 24 credit hours of accounting classes. So basically 5 years of schooling. So you can get your CPA before your Masters. That is the way it is in South Carolina check it out. (That is if you want to get a jump start of a job if you cant wait then wait)
2
I recieved the MAcc degree from FSU and can tell you the differences between the MAcc & MBA programs at FSU. The MAcc requires more Accounting classes than the MBA (even if getting an MBA with a concentration in Accounting). The MAcc prepares you to pass the CPA exam and enter the Accounting profession. The MBA prepares you for a high level job in the corporate arena, with more managment and Finance classes than you would take in the MAcc program (altho there is a little overlap - I took a couple of classes with the MBA students). The accounting classes in the MBA program are more basic/elementary than in the MAcc program (in fact, one of the MBA accounting classes will NOT be accepted as part of the 150 hour rule requirement to sit for the CPA exam in FL). However - these are the differences between FSU's programs. If you are comparing Tampa's MSA with FSU's MAcc, you should print a list of required courses for each (FSU's MAcc classes can be found on FSU's Accounting page: http://cob.fsu.edu/acc/macc.cfm ) and then make the comparison. You can also compare stats like the former graduates' pass rate on the CPA exam. Good luck!

The Master of Accounting program at The Ohio State University provides you with a broader and deeper understanding of how accounting functions within an organization. This is not a fifth year of technical accounting education.Creating the best prepared and most qualified job seekers is the number one goal of the Fisher College of Business Career Management Team.

You could try looking up a few programs and seeing what they require - here are the requirements to enter the masters in accounting program at UMass Amherst, for example. They require a minimum of 18 credit hours in accounting and 24 credit hours in business courses. http://www.isenberg.umass.edu/accounting/Graduate/MSA/Applying/ So no, it doesn't look like you can just jump into a masters program without the background.

Absolutely you can. For admission, most Master of Accounting programs require a few undergrad accounting classes (and possibly a few other business classes like economics). Look at the requirements of the program you're interested in. All you would need to do is take the required classes, and then apply. Master of Finance programs will typically require students to have a business related undergrad degree, or a degree in other quantitative fields, like computer science, physics, or math. Best of luck!

The way it is in Ohio, if you pursue your masters degree in accounting it basically prepares you up for the CPA exam. If you want your CPA certification you have to take the exam and have at least a year (if not more) of accounting experience. In some states, entering into the masters program lessens the amount of experience time you need to wait after you pass the exam. If you want to get your masters in say....finance or economics you could but it won't necessarily help you out if you plan on becoming a CPA, but you always could. I'm pretty sure these are basic rules that apply in almost every state, if you get your CPA you can take it in a lot of different directions, hope this helps...
2
there is 150-hour rule which you need to observe if you want to sit for the example. you also need to figure out if you can study for the example yourself if you don't go to graduate school. grad degree will not 100% prepare you for the exam, but will be lots of help. if you can make yourself study with prep materials, then you may skip accounting grad degree and get something else, like MBA (finance, MIS, etc.). in most states, you need at least one year of accounting experience before you can get your CPA license. in some states, it's two years. also, in some states one of that two years can be substituted with a graduate degree.

Would it be logical to get a bachelor's in accounting (undergrad) and master's in business management?
I want to be an accountant (probably a CPA), so would it be logical to get a bachelor's at undergrad school in accounting and, since the grad school that I really want to go to doesn't offer an accounting master's, get a master's in business management in grad school?

Several states require people who wish to sit for the CPA exam to have at least 150 hours of courses, which basically means a bachelor's and master's. Not sure about the state that you live in, but in my state you must have 33 hours of accounting courses--which can easily be fulfilled by the requirements for an undergraduate major in accounting. Most people I know who sit for the exam get their master's in accounting, based on the area of accounting they wish to practice after passing the exam. It's totally up to you what you decide to do, but I think getting your master's in accounting would be more beneficial (in terms of keeping your mind refreshed for test material, etc.) The only other option that I would consider is getting an MBA with a concentration in accounting. MBAs are highly sought after and could help you in accounting or if you eventually chose to pursue another career path.

where are you located? There is a shortage of accountants in the US. but you are looking at the wrong goal. Whether you get an MS in account of MBA (There is no such thing as MBA in Health Care) depends on your career objective. The MBA is a general business degree training students for top level management positions up to CEO or for those with entrepreneurial objectives of starting their own business. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree. In an MBA program, you can get the required 30 hours of graduate work to qualify for the CPA. And you can get a concentration in Health Care at the same time. The Master of Science is a specialized degree in a particular field such as finance, chemistry, accounting, engineering, etc. training students for top level staff and research positions who prefer not to get into general management. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. MS programs typically do not require work experience. It will give you the graduate work needed to get the CPA. Before you decide on an MBA program explore the Internet for information on available programs. There is a lot of information available in free public service sites. Some sites are limited to specific countries, such as Germany, UK, or Australia. Some list a small number of select schools, while others may include more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. You can find the program that best fits you. You can search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by type of degree (MBA, MS, Ph.D). In some cases you can select your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Investigate any MBA program carefully before applying. Many new ones have been started and some are worthless. What to look for: Schools' accreditation status (AACSB accreditation or at least AACSB membership is preferred for the MBA) , tuition cost, class sizes, program length. Is the faculty mostly Ph.D.s qualified in business fields? Is the faculty permanent or part-time adjunct teachers who are not as qualified? Is the faculty well published? What are the average entrance exam scores of the students? For instance, if students take the GMAT, is their average below 550 or above 580? What are the starting salaries of graduates? Does the school have a good career placement service? How many graduates have job offers within 3 months of graduation? Do most students have 2-4 years work experience before starting the program? You can find data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees such as MBA/JD, and much more. Some sites have links to the schools' web sites, or provide email addresses to contact schools of your choice, and send them pre-applications. You can find lists of top schools ranked by various periodicals or ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. Generally you should stay away from any sites that require you to pay to get information or that promise to find scholarships for you or ensure acceptance into a program.

you can have a try
I just got my BBA (Accounting), and try to go for master. I don't really know what should I go for; Accounting again, or health-care? On which one I can make more money? I am thinking that if I take my MBA health care, then I would have more choices and opportunities on future; Accounting jobs or health care jobs. But I still don't know which one is better. Any common please?
