PROGRAM LEADING TO THE PROFESSIONAL DEGREE OF MASTER OF ACCOUNTING SCIENCE (M.A.S.).
Abstract
The article presents information on details of various programs that lead to a Master of Accounting Science degree given by the Department of Accountancy at the University of Illinois. The increased emphasis on professional training for accountancy indicates the need for a fifth year of study designed to prepare the candidate for a professional career in public, governmental, or industrial accounting. The Master of Accounting Science (M.A.S.) program has been designed to provide such training. It permits qualified students to complete the requirements for this degree and to prepare for the C.P.A. examination in one year. It will be offered for the first time in September, 1958. The Department will continue to offer, as in past years, work leading to the M.S. degree and the Ph.D. degree. Those intending to enter public accounting ordinarily should take, in addition to the required courses, at least three of the following courses, including the first two named: Accountancy 472-Auditing Standards and Techniques, Accountancy 477-Professional Problems, Accountancy 471-Accounting Reports, Accountancy 372-Auditing Problems and Cases, Accountancy 374-Advanced Income Tax Problems, Business Administration 373-Electronic Data Processing for Business.
