Career Potential For MS in Professional Accountancy Graduates
Promotions to partner, manager, and corporate managerial positions increasingly go to candidates with graduate degrees.
A careerBuilder.com survey found that companies are pushing their hiring level to candidates with higher degrees.
The Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics noted that accountants who have a CPA and a master in accounting have an advantage in the market.
A recent Institute of Management Accountants' salary survey showed increased earnings for accountants with a graduate degree:
The median dollar amount increase for those with a master's degree was $13,436, resulting in a median base salary of $107,000.
Total median compensation for those with master's degrees was $123,000 compared to $109,716 for those with a bachelor's degree only.
Of survey participants who indicated that they held an entry-level management accounting position, 55 percent reported having a master's degree.

I found the ease of the transition from undergraduate school to graduate school at Marist most beneficial. More specifically, I was able to establish relationships with a majority of the wonderful faculty involved with the MSPAccy program.
