MS en Comptabilité/MBA

Don’t have any accounting experience, but interested in a career in accounting plus an MBA? This program offers a combined degree, valuable experience from a three-month, paid co-op position, and virtually 100% job placement.

With an MSA/MBA from Northeastern, you can earn two degrees - an MS in Accounting and an MBA - in just 15 months. Our full-time program is designed for liberal arts and non-accounting majors.

You can start right after you complete your undergraduate degree. Gain hands-on experience through a three-month paid residency at a leading accounting firm. Graduate from the program prepared to take the CPA exam. And get ready to hit the ground running with a new job at a regional, national, or Big Four accounting firm.
