The University of Guam School of Business and Public Administration is inviting accounting professionals to consider the 100% online Master of Accountancy program commencing this Fanuch\u00e5nan (Fall) semester on Nov. 28.<\/p>\n

The new graduate degree program\u2019s curriculum offers courses in professional accounting research, financial analysis and valuation, corporate governance and ethics, advanced auditing and forensic accounting, information systems and data analytics.<\/p>\n

The program allows accounting professionals who plan on seeking Guam licensure and practicing as a Certified Public Accountant to meet the 150 credit hours required under Guam law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great opportunity for UOG to serve the community and this is one way \u2013 by offering the master\u2019s program,\u201d said Doreen T. Crisostomo-Mu\u00f1a, Ph.D., professor of accounting at SBPA. Having a master\u2019s degree for accountants helps build their portfolio, Crisostomo-Mu\u00f1a said.<\/p>\n

Graduate students can complete the program in a year. The program\u2019s online feature allows graduate students from Guam, the rest of the Micronesia region, and prospective students from foreign countries who meet the education requirements for acceptance to enroll without having to relocate or pause their jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis program is delivered fully online \u2013 providing the flexibility that working professionals need,\u201d said Martha Suez-Sales, Ph.D., the program\u2019s chairperson.<\/p>\n

There will be an information session via Zoom at 7pm on Sept. 15. The application deadline is Sept. 30, 2022.<\/p>\n

Roseann Jones, Ph.D., professor of economics and division head of UOG\u2019s Business Administration Division, said the new master\u2019s program shows the division\u2019s commitment toward the professional development of Guam\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really great to have this specialized Master of Accountancy program. We have a terrific accountant clientele base who have supported our students over the years, and this just takes this to a whole new level and we are really excited about that,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n
