ACCOUNTING (BBA) at Georgia College

Our MSc programme is designed to develop an understanding of accounting and finance in global organisations and to provide you with important training for careers in the accounting and financial sectors.

A distinctive feature of the programme is that it is designed for graduates from any discipline with a strong interest in the foundations of accounting and finance who wish to acquire analytical skills, both numerical and discursive, to pursue a career in the financial sector. You do not need to have studied in this discipline, but we recommend that students have a basic knowledge and understanding of accounting and/or business studies to make the most of this programme.

The programme also caters for those who seek a general career in business or public service but who want to know more about how the accounting and finance sector operates and how it influences stakeholders, including managers, providers of finance and government.

Our MSc in Financial Management provides a strong grounding in the theory and practices of accounting and finance in the corporate sector. This course is part of the CFA Institute as a University Affiliation Program. 

Through this programme you will become adept at analysing financial information, adopting an international perspective as you consider developments in financial management across different cultures.

You will be invited to put yourself in the position of a financial manager within an organisation and investigate practical, real world examples. You will also explore traditional and contemporary developments in financial practice and draw upon relevant research as a foundation on which to build strategic approaches to financial management.

As an accounting major at USD, you will learn to focus on money management, financial strategies and fiscal reporting. Here, you will find a variety of experiential learning opportunities ranging from internships at Big Four firms to study abroad trips at a destination of your choosing. Our program provides you with rich experiences in and beyond the classroom, so you can pursue your career as a leader in accounting who keeps their company's finances in good standing.
