Five-Year BS Accounting Degree and ISM toward CPA

Michigan and most other states require 150 hours of university course work to be licensed as a Certified Public Accountant. Junior year Bachelor of Science in Accountancy program majors may apply for fourth year dual enrollment in Accountancy and Master of Science in Information Systems Management. By adding the MS-ISM to the existing CPA baccalaureate program as a fifth year, students interested in entering the CPA profession will get the appropriate training in accounting, satisfy the 150 minimum credit hours required to practice as a licensed Certified Public Accountant, and earn a career enhancing graduate degree.

Our Information Systems Management (ISM) masters program has been developed for individuals who wish to acquire the skills necessary to enter the information technology (IT) profession, or IT professionals who need to enhance and/or broaden technical and associated IT management skills. The MS-ISM program focuses on the concepts and skills for effective leadership and includes concentration choices in emerging areas such as outsourcing management and several technical areas with growing career potential.
