      What is an MA in Auditing? Students take courses in financial analysis and reporting, taxation, business law, advanced accounting, and economics. To keep up with modern practices, students also learn how to use advanced software that current professionals already use to analyze financial data. This program requires intensive study, so some schools require that students hold undergraduate degrees in accounting or business and/or a passing score on the GMAT or GRE. Be aware of these prerequisites before applying. Most Master of Arts in Auditing degrees can be earned in just two years.

      A master’s degree in auditing helps students perfect their problem-solving and critical thinking skills by providing intense yet rewarding challenges.

      How much you pay for this degree depends largely on the institution you choose. International options are available as well. See what scholarship or financial aid programs are available if you're concerned about financing your education.
