Accounting professionals are in demand today. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants reported that hiring of those with college degrees in accounting during the 2006-2007 school year was up 83 percent from three years previous. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says accounting is one of the 20 hottest professions of the coming decade, with employment growth projected at 18 percent.
While accountants in all specialties are finding great employment opportunities, those with better chances are those with master's degrees and CPA certifications. Additionally, the pay scale for those with master's degrees tends to be higher than for those with just four-year college degrees.
An online master's education in accounting typically provides important career training in accounting research, financial statement analysis, business law, auditing, tax policy, and more. Additionally, an online education can allow you to complete your career training within a year or 18 months, so you can start taking advantage of excellent career prospects sooner.
