Accounting Pathway Program

Master of Accounting Pathway Program

For Purdue undergraduates interested in pursuing a career in accounting, the MSA Pathway Program offers an optimal route to completing the 150 hours of college credit work required to sit for the CPA exam. With conditional admission starting as early as sophomore year, eligible students can streamline their undergraduate experience and transition seamlessly into a ten-month Krannert Master's program.
