Master of Accountancy
The increasingly complex nature of the accounting and controllership functions, as well as the growing responsibilities of the accountant, make graduate study desirable. The objective of the Master of Accountancy is to provide students with greater breadth and depth in accounting education. The purpose of this program is to provide students with the knowledge and background necessary for entry into the profession and to enable them to continue to grow and develop within the profession.
A student must have 150 semester hours of postsecondary education to be a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Most state boards of Accountancy, including Virginia , DC and Maryland , have passed rules requiring students to meet the 150 hour requirement in order to be eligible to sit for the Uniform CPA examination. Most students meet the requirement by pursuing a graduate degree. UNVA's Master of Accountancy program can be completed in one year and will give students a competitive edge in today's world. However, states must be individually canvassed for particular requirements by students wishing to sit for the CPA exams.
