Forensic accounting is the fastest-growing niche market in the accounting profession. Potential career opportunities are numerous, in both the private and government sectors.
A key emphasis of the MFA curriculum is practical application. Instructors commonly relate course content to their real-world experiences, and problem-based assignments/projects allow students to operationalize abstract concepts. Throughout the program, students are challenged to identify opportunities to leverage their newly-acquired knowledge and skills for career advancement.
Several MFA graduates from past cohorts have been promoted within their existing organizations or have obtained positions with new employers.
