<p>If I am a junior majoring in accounting, and anticipate getting my masters after I graduate to meet CPA requirements, should I indicate that somehow on my resume while applying for internships?</p>
<p>If so, how would you suggest I add it?</p>

<p>Are you in a fast track program at your school? Or do you still need to apply?</p>
<p>If you’re already in the a program that combines undergrad and a masters in accounting, then I would state the on your resume. Otherwise, I’m not sure how important it would be to mention that you’re planning on getting a masters so that you have enough credits to sit for the CPA, it’s pretty much implied that you’re going into accounting with the intention of taking the CPA eventually.</p>
<p>Also, you could put your intention to pursue a masters in you summary/objective, but it might detract from more important things in terms of your experience and accomplishments. For my friends who are accounting majors, it doesn’t seem like there’s much of a premium for BS Accounting vs MS Accounting, so I don’t know if it would really be advantageous to put it down on your resume well over a year before you expect to start your masters.</p>
<p>I still need to apply to the “fast track” masters program in the fall. </p>
<p>Reason I asked was because my adviser recommended it, but it takes up extra space on my resume while I’m not sure it’s necessary for now.</p>
