Some accounting graduates pursue careers as internal accountants, auditors, financial analysts, financial advisers and other related roles. Others go on to pursue a Master of Accounting degree and CPA in order to take their career to the next level as managers, directors, controllers, and CFO’s. NSU’s master’s program seamlessly guides you through the additional 30 credits beyond the Bachelor of Science in Accounting to satisfy the CPA requirements.
