Do the Math – A Suffolk MSA Adds Up

It doesn’t take an advanced degree in accounting to know that a challenging full-time career + personal demands = little time to spare.

Suffolk’s MSA has just the solution for that equation. Structured to allow completion in 10-16 months full-time and 16-24 months part-time, our program offers all the benefits of a Suffolk advanced degree in a manageable time frame.

• Classes meet once per week in fall and spring, twice a week in abbreviated summer sessions.
• Our “back to back” format allows students to take two classes in one evening.
• 100% of electives are offered in evening time slots in Boston.
• Fully-employed part-time students have full access to all electives

As attractive as those options are, the strength of our MSA program continues to be its high level of excellence.

Suffolk students have the highest CPA pass rate in Massachusetts for candidates with advanced degrees and over twice the rate of the national average. Our students’ CPA pass rates topped those of Harvard, Bentley, Babson, Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern.

Our accounting faculty are experienced and dedicated professionals. Many have held high level corporate positions prior to teaching full-time. Others have worked in the trenches at some of the world’s top Accounting Firms. They all bring a unique global perspective into the classroom.

The Global Perspective

In additional to the global perspective from our faculty and your fellow classmates, MSA students are required to complete at least one course in international accounting which provides you with a crucial perspective to understanding global business.

MSA Career Track Options
