About Accountancy (msa) in San Diego State University

The Master of Science in Accountancy (MSA) program prepares students to meet the challenges and demands of careers in professional accountancy. The MSA program provides an opportunity for students to meet the educational requirements to take the uniform CPA examination.

The MSA allows students to deeply explore accounting practice areas of their professional interest. Students pursue one of the three MSA specializations (Accounting Information Systems, Financial Reporting, Taxation), by selecting a customized set of courses to meet specific professional needs and goals. Small class sizes enable students to connect with faculty and draw on the resources of the Charles W. Lamden School of Accountancy community.

Licensure as a CPA in California and other states is controlled by state licensing bureaus. SDSU does not make a determination whether its MSA curriculum meets the educational requirements for CPA licensure in any state.
