Forensic Accounting Master's Degrees

Fraud examination, financial investigation and litigation support, offered as a formal degree, concentration or track in accounting. Forensic accounting investigates financial records and fraud. It is a different field from forensic science, which examines physical evidence in a laboratory. Programs appear here only when official curriculum evidence supports the subject: a named concentration or track, or the degree's own required core — never a topic covered in one or two courses.
