Cal Stagg ���23 sought an accounting program that would put him on the fast-track to becoming a CPA with a competitive edge. With the ambitious, long-term goal of becoming a partner for a major accounting firm, Cal chose 紼硃娶勳莽喧���s dual degree program in accounting for its modern course topics, knowledgeable faculty, and accelerated format. 

紼硃娶勳莽喧���s MS/PAccy program enables students to simultaneously work towards their Master of Science in Professional Accountancy while completing their bachelor���s in accounting. In total, the program takes four years and four months to complete, enabling students to become CPAs and be industry-ready in just 12 weeks.  Additionally, ���In talking with peers and professionals alike I have not found a program that is more efficient in providing its students with a competitive advantage over others,��� Cal said.

As a student, Cal built close relationships with 紼硃娶勳莽喧���s knowledgeable faculty and found creative ways to combine his shared interest in the academic and industry sides of the field: ���I completed my own original accounting research proposal in one day and the next was creating a database that could be used in any enterprise resource planning system.���

Cal���s achievements throughout his student experience earned him an exclusive invitation to the quarterly School of Management Advisory Board meeting in New York City������a fantastic experience in terms of both operational exposure as well as networking.��� ���and, ultimately, secured a full-time job offer from Ernst & Young.

���The  Dual-Degree MS/PAccy program will give you the upper hand on many other industry candidates nationwide,��� Cal said. ���My advice would be to put in the extra work, as it will pay off in great ways and in a shorter time than you may think. Get to know our great faculty to learn more about the program and how it differentiates itself from others, you will not be disappointed.���
