Students can earn a Master of Science Degree in Accounting (M.S.A.) whether or not their undergraduate degree was in that field. Those with a B.S. in Accounting from Lehman College or an equivalent undergraduate accounting degree from an accredited institution can earn an M.S.A. degree by completing a total of 30 graduate credits. Students holding undergraduate degrees in a field other than accounting or accounting degrees not equivalent to Lehman's B.S. in Accounting may have to take up to 60 credits in Accounting and Business courses in addition to the 30-credit M.S.A. course requirements. Students in the M.S.A. program must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0.
