财务报表分析(Financial Report Analysis),管理会计(Managerial Accounting),财务分析(Financial Analysis),审计(Auditing),税法(Taxation)等。有些学校的专业下面还设有分支,如:The University of North Caroline-Chapel Hill,Case Western Reserve University,University of Washington-Seattle等,而常见的分支有审计(auditing)和税法(taxation)两个分支。
审计下的课程有:保险服务与信息质量(Assurance Services and Information Quality), 财务舞弊预防(Financial Fraud Detection), 会计 (Accounting), 会计职业道德(Ethics), 有价债券法(Securities Law), 造假检测(Fraud Examination)等 。
税法下的课程有 :行政决策纳税筹划(Tax planning for managerial decision making), 企业税务与纳税筹划(Business Taxation and Tax Planning), 税法专业研究(Professional Research in Taxation), 税法研究(Tax Research)等。
美国的会计专业研究生一般设在商学院,部分学校开设Masterof Science in Accounting会计理学硕士(MSA)和Master of Accounting(MAcc)会计硕士。如果没有MAcc,也有MBAconcentrate in Accounting或Accounting MBA(AMBA),但相当于MBA底下的会计专业,会计专业硕士对数学能力要求比MBA的要求高。通常来说,不管是MSA还是MACC,都有资格参加CPA的考试。即便这样,相较于金融和经济学专业,会计专业对于数学的要求相对还是较低的。
Master Science in Accounting (MSA) 的课程主要是中级会计,对于没有一点会计背景的人来说,能打个很好的基础。学校会审核申请者本科时的课程,再要求申请者补上一些必须的先修课。不同的学校在先修课程上的要求不同,一般大学会计学院的网页会列出对申请者的专业课程要求,在申请时学校根据成绩单会评估申请者的课程,再决定是否需要补修。
Masterof Accounting (MACC)是给立志成为会计专才的学习就读的专业。MACC相对于MBA-Accounting更为专业,学习内容更偏向于理论和实践。MACC的课程一般与美国认证公共会计师(CPA)有密切的联系,MACC的毕业或在读学生可以直接报考CPA。MACC的课程长度一般为1-2年,招生挑选的原则和MBA相差不大,部分学校的MACC要求学生有会计学背景。对于没有会计基本的学生,也有部分学校采用提前开学进行暑期学校的方法弥补学生会计学背景知识的不足。
PhD in Accounting 是立志于从事会计学术研究方向同学的提供项目。会计博士一需要五年左右的时间完成,项目的第一二年以基础课(coursework)为主,第三至五年则以完成博士论文、进行学术研究和培养教学能力为主。基础课包括博士级别的经济学、统计学和计量课程以及与会计相关的研讨课,一般包括财务会计、管理会计、公司财务、审计和税务五个方向。从研究方法分包括分析式、实证式、实验、实地研究等方法。

会计在美国是一个很好就业的专业,并且对本科非商科类专业的学生也没有过多*,因此申请美国会计专业的中国学生一直都非常多。在美国,会计硕士研究生专业(Master of Accountancy简称MAcc),一般设在商学院,MBA的学生和会计专业学生可以互相选修对方专业的课程。在美国,MAcc的课程设置通常是24个月,也有的学校是12个月(通常学习的时间就只有9个月)。所以在这么短的时间内,通常就是学习和实践。
在美国当会计不需要会计证,但要注册会计师(Certificate Public Account简称CPA)证书。在美国,税务(Taxation)是会计工作的重头戏,也是留学生的主攻方向。
UIUC是一所享有世界声望的一流研究型大学,该校还是最早几所接受中国留学生的美国大学之一。该校一直致力于卓越的研究、教学和公众参与,校友中先后有23位获得诺贝尔奖,在美国公立大学中仅次于伯克利。该校的商学院也具有极强的实力,其会计、金融等专业为全美一流水平,会计专业位列全美第二。如果学会计专业,该校是非常不错的选择。
