<p>Look, Xavi, I know how to google and that is exactly what I did. I also know the the difference between the word “give you the option” and “often require.” </p>
<p>Do you have a link to the page that says this: “University of Washington gives you the option of (1) earning 225 credits or (2) paying significantly more for that 5th year and earning a Masters.” Becuase I looked at UW accounting department and didn’t see that. And are you telling me over the course of a 5-year education $2,000 is a significant amount, because that’s the difference at UW. I just googles their tuition!</p>
<p>As for the benefits of the MS as opposed to the BS. If I have two identical candidates, and one has a BS and a CPA and the other has a MS and a CPA, the MS gets the nod in my book.</p>
