This Northeastern University program offers students with non-accounting undergraduate degrees the opportunity to earn a JD from the School of Law and a joint master of science in accounting and master of business administration (MSA/MBA) from the D'Amore-McKim School of Business. The four-year program is particularly effective preparation for those seeking careers in taxation, corporate finance or mergers and acquisitions. The program takes advantage of Northeastern's unique and dynamic co-op program to provide students with multiple opportunities for real-world, experiential learning one with a public accounting firm and others with a law department, firm, government office or judge. Some of the licensing requirements for the CPA apprenticeship can be satisfied by co-op, and members of the Massachusetts bar are automatically exempted from the business law section of the CPA examination.
