NEC’s commitment to career development drives program enhancements for accounting professionals who want advanced credentials and opportunities.

In today’s competitive financial world, credentials matter more than ever. That’s why New England College (NEC) just strengthened its online MS in Accounting program to better prepare graduates for the CPA exam and careers in accounting.

Guided by faculty who are active accounting and finance professionals, students in the online MS in Accounting program learn advanced accounting theory and practical application of that theory, which improves CPA exam readiness.

“New England College responds to workplace needs with practical solutions,” explained Dr. Reza Jalili, the K. H. William and Andrea Krueger Endowed Faculty Chair in Business Administration with a Focus on Accounting, at NEC. “Augmenting the online MS in Accounting with more opportunities for applied learning and test preparation strengthens our support for students who aspire to become certified public accountants.”

The program’s enhancements build upon NEC’s long-standing commitment to career development. Why this matters:

  • Designed for working professionals, the online format provides schedule flexibility without sacrificing rigor or relevance.
  • Graduates will be well-positioned for roles in auditing and risk management, corporate accounting, management consulting, banking and financial services, governmental and nonprofit organizations, and taxation practices—all fields where holding a CPA credential is a significant advantage.
