Four Years. Two Degrees. One Powerful Start.
Siena's 3+1 Accounting Pathway gives motivated students the opportunity to earn both a B.S. in Accounting and an M.S. in Accounting in just four years.
Students accelerate their undergraduate coursework during the first three years and transition into graduate study, completing the M.S. in their fourth year. The result is an efficient pathway to two degrees, advanced accounting preparation and the educational foundation needed to pursue CPA licensure.
And because professional experience is an important part of the Siena Accounting experience, 3+1 students can build their résumés through internships and employer connections while completing their degrees.
Why Siena's 3+1 Accounting Pathway?
- Earn Two Degrees in Four Years - Graduate with both a B.S. and M.S. in Accounting in the time traditionally associated with completing a bachelor's degree.
- Move Efficiently Toward CPA Licensure - Complete 150 credit hours while earning two accounting degrees and building advanced knowledge for the profession.
- Save Time and Reduce the Cost of Your Education - Complete your undergraduate and graduate education on an accelerated four-year schedule rather than adding a traditional fifth year.
- Build Your Career While You Study - Gain professional experience through internships, recruiting events and employer connections as you progress through the program. Siena accounting graduates have launched careers with firms and organizations including PwC, EY, KPMG, Deloitte, UHY, Bonadio and others.
- Develop Advanced Accounting Expertise - Move from a strong undergraduate accounting foundation into graduate-level study designed to deepen your technical, analytical and professional skills.
- Get Personal Guidance Along the Way - The 3+1 pathway is ambitious, but you don't navigate it alone. Accounting faculty work with students to plan their academic pathway and keep them progressing toward their goals.
