Opus College of Business

Master of Science Degree in Accountancy

About the Program

A Unique Graduate Experience

Our program is designed so that a relatively small number of students can interact regularly with the faculty in a supportive environment. Students are admitted in groups (cohorts), taking all classes together and finishing the program together.

The cohort design supports a challenging, integrated curriculum and enhances development of skills relevant to today's highly competitive business environment. Special attention is given to the development of ethical leadership throughout the curriculum.

The cohort design also supports our ability to engage with the surrounding business community, which will enrich your educational experience. UST is fortunate to have access to many highly experienced business professionals who are willing to share their expertise with you. Our program features extensive use of guest speakers throughout all our courses.

Classes are offered in state-of-the-art facilities on the University of St. Thomas downtown Minneapolis campus. Our Minneapolis campus was designed for graduate studies and is intended to enhance your graduate school experience.
