Graduate Studies in Accounting


The Master's program in Accounting at Kyung Hee University is a two-year program for students with an undergraduate background in accounting, business administration or related areas. The program is for students interested in careers in accounting, including both public and non-public practices. The program provides an opportunity to obtain a more comprehensive foundation in accounting and advanced knowledge in specific accounting or business-related areas through course work and dissertation.
The Ph.D. program in Accounting is designed to educate scholars for university faculty or researcher positions in private/public research institutes. It also provides a good opportunity for practitioners such as CPAs, financial analysts and managers to learn newly developed theories in academic fields. The program emphasizes the economics and finance background for the accounting discipline, and provides the institutional background and knowledge about research methods.

Graduates of our doctoral program can expect to be recruited actively by good business schools and research institutes.
