A Rutgers masters in governmental accounting? Five reasons it might be time to make the investment

1. Opportunities. In the next few years, roughly a third of the government workforce will qualify for retirement, creating vacancies in agencies and departments at the local, state and federal levels of government. The need for qualified governmental accountants has never been greater, and a Rutgers Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting offers a great credential for candidates who want to fill those jobs.

2. More than just numbers. The interdisciplinary nature of the program offers students a chance to learn about public policy, public administration and ethics as well as government accounting and auditing.

3. Quality instruction. Courses are taught by a powerful combination of leading practitioners in the public sector, such as former New Jersey State Auditor Rick Fair and Dean Michael Mead, senior research manager at the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, as well as influential academic thought leaders from the Rutgers faculty.

4. Valuable connections. Program director Irfan Bora provides career advice, but he also works hard to build connections with local, state and federal employers who can provide job opportunities and advancement to students and graduates.

5. Uniquely accessible. The Rutgers Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting is the only program in the nation offered entirely online. That means no matter where you are, from Washington State to Vermont, you can benefit from the quality of instruction and the Rutgers connections.

Application deadline is Aug. 1 to begin classes in fall of 2018.
