ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ’s distinguished accounting curriculum is one of only three AACSB-accredited programs in Wisconsin. Our mission is to prepare students to be responsible, competent and ethical leaders in accounting, business, government and not-for-profit careers.
Marquette’s undergraduate degree in accounting emphasizes oral and written communication skills, ethical behavior, analytical reasoning, computer competency and technical knowledge sufficient for attaining a relevant accounting profession.
The Master of Science in Accounting degree focuses on: 1) enhancing the student’s knowledge in finance, management, and specific accounting areas; 2) preparing the student for professional examinations (e.g., CPA, CMA, CIA, CPFO); and 3) qualifying students for positions in public, corporate or government/not-for-profit accounting.
Those who wish to engage in public accounting practice in most states as certified public accountants should familiarize themselves with the rules and regulations issued by the various state boards. For example, most states (including Wisconsin and Illinois) require prospective CPAs to complete 150 semester hours of education. The Department of Accounting offers a master of science in accounting degree which meets the 150-hour requirement.
To deliver an applied curriculum that develops accountants who are bold, life-long learners that provide service-oriented, ethical leadership to organizations and communities across the world.
