The programs, including two online programs options, equip students with the depth of knowledge in accounting necessary to take the CPA exam and also to lead in their careers with skills in financial analysis and business development.

A master’s degree in accounting provides a deep dive into accounting principles from experienced faculty using case studies and projects. Students will boost their critical thinking and analytical skills, preparing them for the national demand for leaders in the field.

The Online Master of Science in Accountancy and the Online Master of Science in Accountancy Foundations are offered 100% online and can be completed in as few as 12 months if enrolled full-time and 22 months if enrolled part-time.

In a world of complex tax laws, tax professionals must have a perspective extending beyond the details of the Internal Revenue Code.

Boise State University’s Master of Science in Accountancy Taxation meets the educational requirements component related to professional licensure standards for the state of Alabama dependent upon the candidate’s prior undergraduate coursework.

Many states require applicants for CPA licensure to have taken certain courses or studied specific topics while earning the requisite 150 academic credit hours. Boise State’s AACSB-accredited graduate accountancy programs were designed to meet the educational requirements for students seeking licensure in Idaho. A student’s eligibility to seek licensure in another state is dependent upon that state’s requirements, the student’s prior undergraduate coursework, and the graduate courses the student takes.

In determining whether students completing one of our graduate accountancy programs will be eligible to apply for CPA licensure in a particular state, we have assumed that:

  • Students entering our Master of Science in Accountancy or Master of Science in Accountancy, Taxation programs have earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting.
  • Students entering our Master of Science in Accountancy, Foundations program have earned a bachelor’s degree in a business discipline.

Please note that:

  • Exact courses taken in baccalaureate degree programs vary by institution, so students will need to ensure their undergraduate degree meets the requirements of the state in which they plan to apply for licensure.
  • Meeting the educational requirements of a given state may depend on the courses students select in Boise State’s program. For example, if a student seeks licensure in a state that requires a stand-alone course in accounting ethics (and the student did not take such a course as an undergraduate), the student will need to take ACCT 511, Ethics in Accounting, as part of their graduate degree program.
  • Many states require the submission of an applicant’s undergraduate and graduate academic transcripts for evaluation.

The final decision as to whether or not an applicant meets the educational requirements for licensure in the state is made by the state agency responsible for CPA licensure (normally called the Board of Accountancy, but the agency name can vary). It is the professional obligation of each candidate to be personally responsible for their qualification for licensing as a CPA with the Alabama State Board of Public Accountancy, which includes meeting other state requirements. Please review Alabama’s State Board of Public Accountancy website for details about obtaining licensure in the state and consult with Boise State’s Department of Accountancy acct@boisestate.edu regarding eligibility in the state.

Boise State University’s Master of Science in Accountancy Taxation meets the educational requirements component related to professional licensure standards for the state of Illinois dependent upon the candidate’s prior undergraduate coursework.

Many states require applicants for CPA licensure to have taken certain courses or studied specific topics while earning the requisite 150 academic credit hours. Boise State’s AACSB-accredited graduate accountancy programs were designed to meet the educational requirements for students seeking licensure in Idaho. A student’s eligibility to seek licensure in another state is dependent upon that state’s requirements, the student’s prior undergraduate coursework, and the graduate courses the student takes.

In determining whether students completing one of our graduate accountancy programs will be eligible to apply for CPA licensure in a particular state, we have assumed that:

  • Students entering our Master of Science in Accountancy or Master of Science in Accountancy, Taxation programs have earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting.
  • Students entering our Master of Science in Accountancy, Foundations program have earned a bachelor’s degree in a business discipline.

Please note that:

  • Exact courses taken in baccalaureate degree programs vary by institution, so students will need to ensure their undergraduate degree meets the requirements of the state in which they plan to apply for licensure.
  • Meeting the educational requirements of a given state may depend on the courses students select in Boise State’s program. For example, if a student seeks licensure in a state that requires a stand-alone course in accounting ethics (and the student did not take such a course as an undergraduate), the student will need to take ACCT 511, Ethics in Accounting, as part of their graduate degree program.
  • Many states require the submission of an applicant’s undergraduate and graduate academic transcripts for evaluation.

It is the professional obligation of each candidate to be personally responsible for their qualification for licensing as a CPA with the Illinois Board of Examiners, which includes meeting other state requirements.

Many states require applicants for CPA licensure to have taken certain courses or studied specific topics while earning the requisite 150 academic credit hours. Boise State’s AACSB-accredited graduate accountancy programs were designed to meet the educational requirements for students seeking licensure in Idaho. A student’s eligibility to seek licensure in another state is dependent upon that state’s requirements, the student’s prior undergraduate coursework, and the graduate courses the student takes.

In determining whether students completing one of our graduate accountancy programs will be eligible to apply for CPA licensure in a particular state, we have assumed that:

  • Students entering our Master of Science in Accountancy or Master of Science in Accountancy, Taxation programs have earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting.
  • Students entering our Master of Science in Accountancy, Foundations program have earned a bachelor’s degree in a business discipline.

Please note that:

  • Exact courses taken in baccalaureate degree programs vary by institution, so students will need to ensure their undergraduate degree meets the requirements of the state in which they plan to apply for licensure.
  • Meeting the educational requirements of a given state may depend on the courses students select in Boise State’s program. For example, if a student seeks licensure in a state that requires a stand-alone course in accounting ethics (and the student did not take such a course as an undergraduate), the student will need to take ACCT 511, Ethics in Accounting, as part of their graduate degree program.
  • Many states require the submission of an applicant’s undergraduate and graduate academic transcripts for evaluation.

It is the professional obligation of each candidate to be personally responsible for their qualification for licensing as a CPA with the South Carolina Board of Accountancy, which includes meeting other state requirements. Please review South Carolina’s Board of Accountancy website for details about obtaining licensure in the state and consult with Boise State’s Department of Accountancy acct@boisestate.edu regarding eligibility in the state.
