The field of accounting requires individuals to have a broad perspective of technical, managerial and social policy issues, strong mathematical competence and analytical mindset, as well as critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The MS in Management \u2013 Accounting program is designed for students who have obtained baccalaureate degrees in fields other than accounting. Students can complete the program in just one year as a full-time student. Our students are sought after by all size CPA firms, companies, government, and non-profit organizations. Why? Because employers appreciate that our graduates blend diverse undergraduate studies with a high-quality accounting master\u2019s program that is directly focused on the precise demands of the CPA exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you&nbsp;already have&nbsp;a Bachelor\u2019s degree in accounting, you may be interested in:<br><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/business\/academic-programs\/professional-accounting-ms\/\">MS in Management \u2013 Professional Accounting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Master&#8217;s<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_834e2c4f-99b7-4131-8c11-9a3c5093eb11'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=442d088c-4d8a-4572-be4e-00a5267ed73b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apply Now<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/onestop\/finances\/estimating-your-costs\/tuition\/\" rel=\"\">Cost<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=834e2c4f-99b7-4131-8c11-9a3c5093eb11&amp;output=embed&amp;div=form_834e2c4f-99b7-4131-8c11-9a3c5093eb11'>\/**\/<\/script>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\"><hr class=\"uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-m-0\" \/><\/div>\n  \n\n\n\n<section id=\"program-details\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80\">\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div id=\"details-main\" class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-tabs\" data-tabs-prefix-class=\"uwm-p-tabs\"><ul class=\"uwm-p-tablist\" data-hx=\"h2\"><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-06uk-courses\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Courses<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-06uk-faculty\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Faculty<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-06uk-mission\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Mission<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-06uk-admission-tuition\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Admission &amp; Tuition<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-06uk-advisory-council\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Advisory Council<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent\">\n<div id=\"tab-06uk-courses\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\">\n<p>Full-time and part-time students can pursue one of several options for completing the MS Management \u2013 Accounting degree.
