“Choosing an online graduate program can be a great choice for students who want to pursue higher education, but do not have time to attend classes on campus because of work or family obligations. An online graduate accounting program gives students the flexibility to take courses around their schedule and gives students the opportunity to balance work and family life with studies. The majority of the online programs are 100% remote and students are not required to attend any classes on campus. Whether you decide you want to sit for the CPA or you want to advance in your career, pursuing a graduate degree will give you the tools and requirements needed to do both,” says Kate Lau, editor at Accounting Degree Review.

Accounting Degree Review is an independent, online publication dedicated to informing students about the different areas of accounting so they can make informed decisions about their education and career path.
