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.

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.

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!

Start reviewing the universities' web sites in their graduate schools of business. Most should post their range of scores and only apply to those places where you come within the range - preferably in the upper level. Once you get your GMAT scores, start applying. Most of this is done online. Each school will post dates for applications - by all means go for early decision if you can make the deadline.
