SUNY Oswego offers a dynamic five-year program that provides a solid background in business with advanced accounting skills. This allows students to earn two degrees over a five-year time frame, so you can save money and time compared to pursuing these degrees separately.
The professional experience of award-winning faculty will add a practical perspective to your study. Our pass rates on the Certified Public Accountant examination reflect well on our students and dedicated professors, some of whom teach in commercial review courses for the exam.
At the end of this program, you will earn a master's of business administration and BS in accounting, designed to meet the standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. In addition, this program has been registered with the New York State Education Department for candidates seeking admission to the Uniform Certified Public Accountant examination.
