and assurance, managerial accounting systems, or taxation, or may work with the director to tailor
a program of study for the student’s specific academic and career goals. All M.A.S. students must
have ACCY 670, Accounting Research, or ACCY 645, Professional Tax Research; and ACCY
690, Accountancy Capstone/Financial Statement Analysis and Business Valuation.
