Online Master's Degrees in Accounting and Finance

Because of the recent corporate accounting scandals, the government passed legislation that has created a growing demand for accountants with a master's degree in accounting and finance. Finance careers now require the ability to navigate complex laws and ethics guidelines that were previously absent or ignored in some boardrooms.

Only a few years ago, prospects for advancement in a finance career were limited and the competition fierce. However, with the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a new level of opportunity has opened up for accountants with a master's degree in accounting and finance. If you want to move up the corporate ladder as an accountant, a master's degree program is a great way to do it. While associate and bachelor's degrees provide solid finance career backgrounds, a master's degree allows you to be an expert in areas like capital planning and analysis. These skills increase job security, career options, and earning potential. According to the 2005 N.A.C.E. survey, an accountant with a master's degree typically received starting salary offers averaging $3,000 more than those with just a bachelor's degree.

Though all accountants must eventually take courses to understand the requirements and impact of new legislation, few working professionals can take time off from their finance careers to pursue a traditional master's degree. The answer may lie in an online master's degree program. You can earn your online master's degree on your own schedule from one of many accredited distance learning schools.

While no school or master's degree program can guarantee a specific salary or future job opportunity, most employers prefer candidates with accredited degrees or certificates. The Bureau Labor of Statistics indicates the need for accountants with a master's degree will continue to increase. To take advantage of this exciting finance career opportunity, you'll need an advanced degree.
