Master of Science in Accounting

We collaborated with top local employers to design an MSA that goes way beyond CPA prep. Our program dives deep into the career skills you’ll need to thrive, blending technical accounting and data analytics skills like IDEA, ACL, Power BI, and Tableau with communication, negotiation, and human factors coursework. You’ll graduate with a well-rounded skill set that will take you confidently into the future.

Convenience is what truly sets Nichols College apart from many other schools. I have the ability to continue working full time and the choice to participate in lectures remotely or in a traditional classroom setting; all while simultaneously working towards both an MBA and MSA!
