CPA Examinations
A student must have also completed the specific courses required
to sit for the Certified Public Accountant examination in Maryland,
which would normally be done during the student's undergraduate
studies (see Prerequisite Course section). A student who has not
completed these courses prior to admission to the M.S. in Accounting
and Business Advisory Services program will develop a plan to satisfy
these requirements in consultation with the graduate director. This
can be expected to add to the total number of units needed to earn
the degree.
