Accounting Pipeline

DePauw and Kelley share a pipeline program that will guide students through the prerequisites for admission to the MSA program. It gives privileged access to DePauw students so that they may enroll at IU immediately upon graduation and sit for the CPA exam the following summer.

The accounting accreditation association decided that a traditional educational model of attending a large institution produced accountants who were too narrowly trained and increased the general education requirements by an additional 30 hours. The result is that it now takes five years rather than four to prepare to take the CPA exam, even for undergraduate accounting majors.

Indiana University, among others, has responded to the change in educational requirements by creating a Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) degree. The MSA degree at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business is an intensive, one-year, full-time graduate degree program for students with earned undergraduate degrees that will enable them to:

• Develop advanced skills in a technical accounting curriculum
• Participate in team-based consulting projects to get hands-on experience
• Learn about assurance and risk management or taxation
• Complete the 150-hour requirement to sit for the CPA exam in most states
• Participate in IU recruiting events and pre-professional associations such as Beta Alpha Psi

IU's Kelley School of Business has contacts with a large array of prestigious firms who recruit MSA's on campus.  Graduates of the MSA Program have a nearly 100% placement rate in fields that include: 

• Assurance and risk management (auditing)
• Taxation
• Corporate accounting
• Governmental and nonprofit organizations
• Forensic accounting
• Management consulting
