| Would it be bad or good idea to get a bachelor's in accounting and masters in business management? See below? 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? Or is it pretty much necessary to continue with accounting in grad school if I want to be an accountant? Other - Business & Finance - 2 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 If you want to be an accountant, it probably would be better to get your masters in Accounting. However, since you are limited by your choice of schools, a Masters in Business would not be bad. This should put you in a position to give good business advice to your accounting clients. Believe me, many of them need a lot of good advice. You will be surprised at how many businesses are run by the seat of the pants method!!! The only problem I see is practicing in states that require 5-year accounting degrees/or equivalent. Be sure to check the state you intend to practice in to be sure you have all the qualifications necessary to sit for and pass the CPA exam. This is a BIGGEE!!!

If you're in the US, there's no masters degree in pharmacy - you need to apply to a 4-year PharmD program. Most require significant background in the sciences, so you might not have the necessary pre-requisites. Try looking up a few programs to see what they require.

Is it necessary to get a Master's degree in accounting in order to take the CPA exam
Is it necessary to get a Master's degree in accounting in order to take the CPA exam?
or could just a Bachelor's degree be enough?

No, not at all - a Bachelor's is enough. But keep in mind that at many schools, a major in Accounting has become a 5 year course -- which is why you may be thinking it's a master's degree? Each state is a little different, but in most states, you have to have had enough accounting classes in college and a certain amount of experience (1 year seems to be the norm) before you can sit for the exam.

The distinction is between states that require 150 semester units and states that do not. A Master's degree is not required but certain universities in states that have adopted the 150 unit requirement are now offering concurrent Masters in Public Accounting. Such as the integrated MPA offered by the McCombs School at UT Austin: http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/mpa/integrated/ The Uniform CPA Exam is the same in every state, but the requirements to sit for the CPA Exam and to be licensed vary from state to state. In over half the states 150 units is now required; in some instance to sit for the exam, and in other instances to attain the CPA license. In California, a Bachelor's degree in any major that includes 24 units of accounting and 24 business related units allows a person to sift for the CPA exam. If a person has 120 units, he can gain the license with two years appropriate experience. With 150 units, the license only requires one year of appropriate experience. The 24 units in accounting and 24 units in business related subjects do not have to be taken as part of the Bachelor's degree program. They can be completed long after the bachelor's degree was earned. The requirements for California are found on pages 3-5 of California Board of Accountancy "Uniform CPA Examination Handbook(First-Time Applicants)" available at this link. http://www.dca.ca.gov/cba/publications/exambk1.pdf Florida requires the most accounting education of any state: 36 upper division Accounting units and 150 units overall. But no experience is required for licensure: http://www.myflorida.com/dbpr/cpa/CPA-examlink1.html New York goes to the 150 unit requirement this Summer. Texas and Illinois also require 150 units. A CPA needs to be licensed in the state he practices in. Go to the State Board of Accountancy website for full details of what is required in a state. Requirements for all states can be accessed at this link: http://www.beckercpa.com/state/index.cfm

Is Master of Science in Accounting looked at like an MBA
Is Master of Science in Accounting looked at like an MBA?
I'm getting my MS Accounting from a Big Ten school (going to be a CPA) and I'm curious as to how that is viewed if five, ten, fifteen years down the road I decide to leave public accounting and look at corporate jobs like Controller or CFO. Is it comparable to an MBA?

Kinda, sorta, but not really. MBA is an MBA. MS is better than nothing, but do the extra semester or two to get an actual MBA. Good Luck.
