The Master of Science in Accounting Program

Students can pursue the M.S.A. (Master of Science in Accounting) under one of two options:

• A 3 + 1 accelerated plan
• A 4 + 1 traditional plan

The Master of Science in Accounting 3+1 Option

This plan permits students to receive both the B.S. and M.S. degrees in four years.  Students admitted to this program will be allowed to take all 30 hours of graduate coursework prior to receiving their undergraduate degrees.  Students in the 3+1 program must begin taking accounting classes during the first year at Elon, so it is important for these students to meet with an accounting advisor either prior to their enrollment at Elon or shortly thereafter.

The Master of Science in Accounting 4+1 Option

In this plan, students complete all graduate coursework in the academic year following the receipt of their undergraduate degree.  The program runs from July to the following May.
