The Master of Science in Accountancy (MS/Accountancy) program is in response to new developments in the accounting and business worlds. Significant changes in the regulatory climate, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, have increased the need for graduate-level education. The 150-credit hour education requirement established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) also has significantly increased the demand for graduate education in accounting.

Sacramento State’s Master of Science in Finance (MSF) is a one-year, cohort-based program that admits one cohort per year in the Fall semester. The MSF prepares students with a rigorous training in finance and builds a strong foundation of investment analysis and portfolio management skills, as well as practical knowledge needed in today’s investment industry. The program incorporates significant portions of the curriculum of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) curriculum.

This is a cohort-based, fully online, 12 month MBA program. Courses are four (4) weeks long with synchronous and asynchronous times assigned for a total of 45 contact hours per course.

This fully online, AACSB accredited program prepares students from the United States and around the world to be business leaders in the global marketplace.

International students will not be issued an F-1 student visa for this program as it is a completely online program.
