Program Overview

Program Description:

An MBA in Accounting is valuable in opening the door to top-paid positions in such highly competitive fields as financial management and financial analysis. It also provides the credentials needed to teach business classes at community colleges or career education schools. Upon completion of the MBA in Accounting, graduates will be prepared to handle effectively high-level positions such as:

Public Accountant
Management Accountant
Internal Auditor
Financial Analyst
Treasurer
Risk and Insurance Manager
International Banking Manager

Opportunities for accountants and auditors are growing more quickly than average according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. New jobs are being created due to changing financial laws, new government regulations, international trade and mergers, and increased accountability for protecting businesses and shareholders.

While a bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement for most accountant and auditor positions, employers prefer applicants with a master's degree in accounting, or with a master's degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting. Your MBA in Accounting can also help you reach the education requirement for the CPA exam (check with your state for specific requirements).
