Master of Science in Accounting
The Master of Science in Accounting is offered only to students who are
enrolled in the doctoral program in accounting. This degree is offered in three
options: with thesis, with report, and without thesis or report. The thesis
option requires at least thirty semester hours of credit; the report option, at
least thirty-three hours; and the option without thesis or report, at least
thirty-six hours. All coursework must be logically related, and the student’s
entire program must be approved by the student’s primary adviser and the
graduate adviser. The Graduate Studies Committee’s approval is not required.
Students can take two approaches to the Texas MPA degree. The traditional MPA
is a 9- to 13-month graduate program for students who have earned a bachelor’s
degree from a four-year accredited institution. The traditional MPA approach
welcomes students with undergraduate degrees in any field, from business to
liberal arts, science or engineering.
A second approach is the integrated MPA, a three-year program designed for
students in the McCombs School of Business beyond their sophomore year who are
in the process of earning their bachelor’s degree. Upon completion of the
integrated MPA approach, students graduate with the McCombs Bachelor of Business
Administration (BBA) and Master in Professional Accounting (MPA) degrees
concurrently.
