Has anyone ever gone to this program? I’ve done a search on this program but haven’t turned up any extensive information on it.

I’m didn’t graduate with any business or accounting courses and I’m interested in getting the MS in Accounting and this seems like a good choice because 1) I wouldn’t have to take anywhere from 9-21 prerequisite credits. 2) It’s short and even though I’d be paying more in tuition than some other schools I’d be working much quicker. 3) The residency would negate some of that tuition and provide much needed experience for me.

I’m wondering about salary. I know that they have an excellent placement rate but does anybody know about starting salary and salary five years out? What about CPA pass rate? I didn’t see anything on the website and the only e-mail address I could find was for tours.

Also does anybody know of any similar programs that don’t include the MBA? I know San Jose State has one that is a year long, Cincy could be around 18 months, but the prerequisites for most programs seem like they’d extend most programs out longer than I’d like.

Thank You
