Glenville State University has partnered with Marshall University to offer students a program of study leading to a Master of Science in Accountancy. The agreement combines an undergraduate course of study at Glenville State with students later being accepted into the Lewis College of Business at Marshall University.

Marshall’s 100% online Master of Science in Accountancy (MSA) program is designed for both entry-level and seasoned accounting professionals who want to advance in their careers or get the additional credits required to sit for the CPA exam and/ or become a licensed CPA.
