The graduate “Professional and Business Core” (30 credits) is comprised of ten courses in the areas of accounting research, taxation, international accounting, accounting information systems, forensic accounting, financial reporting, ethics, and auditing and assurance services, which respond directly to some of the changes in the accounting profession and the need for accounting professionals to expand their fields of expertise. Students also select two elective courses with their advisor. The last course required in the 30-credit track is an integrative course in accounting research that compels students to engage in the study of a subject area which not only closely replicates some real-world situations but requires students to draw on the functional areas of business and their developed expertise in accounting.
