MS Accounting

The BS/MS in Accounting program is designed for students who are enrolled in a bachelor of science program within the School of Business and are interested in continuing their education at Quinnipiac to earn a Master of Science in Accounting.

In the Accelerated Dual-Degree (3+1) program, you will earn your undergraduate and master’s degrees in four years, saving both tuition and time. Qualifying students are accepted into this program when they apply as an undergraduate.

The Dual-Degree (4+1) program enables you to create a seamless plan to complete your undergraduate and graduate studies immediately following graduation. Qualifying students apply for this program in the spring of their junior year.

Both programs are scheduled to effectively make students “150 hours ready” and positioned for success on the CPA exam in just one year.

Kyle Pedrolli '18, MSA ’19, knew all about the promising salary and job stability in the accounting field, but he wasn’t sold on the profession until he took his first undergraduate accounting course.

“I took a tax class with Professor Matt Maron, and after that, I knew this was the field I wanted to go into,” Pedrolli said.

The School of Business faculty brought subject matter to life for Pedrolli, and that, combined with the promise of small class sizes, influenced him to enroll in the MS in Accounting program after completing his undergraduate degree.

The program was a big challenge for Pedrolli, but the constant reinforcement he received, especially from Professor George Baah, kept him from becoming overwhelmed.

“Professor Baah was always reminding us of our end goal, and why we were here pursuing graduate education in the first place,” he said.

Pedrolli brought that sense of purpose with him to an internship at Deloitte, and it helped him secure a full-time position at the accounting firm’s New York City office after graduation. He plans to take his CPA exams next and is more than confident in his preparedness.

“My experience in the program served me very well,” Pedrolli said. “I feel like I have the skills to go into Deloitte next summer and be a valuable asset to the company.”
