Master's in Accounting Plan of Study

Develop the technical expertise, analytical skills and ethical judgment to shape the future of accounting.

Drexel’s STEM-designated MS in Accounting prepares students to apply professional standards, including relevant codes of conduct, to address complex accounting challenges with integrity, regulatory awareness and responsible use of data and artificial intelligence (AI). Throughout the program, students build the communication skills needed to present technical and analytical findings clearly through written, visual and oral formats for professional audiences.

Note: Beginning in Fall 2027, Drexel University will transition to a semester-based academic calendar as part of its broader Academic Transformation.

  • Students will benefit from a more connected academic environment alongside the faculty mentorship, research opportunities and professional preparation central to graduate study. Explore the 2027–28 course catalog preview.
