Program Overview
Dive into our online MBA in Accounting program
The MBA Accounting Concentration is designed to prepare managers and leaders to understand and use accounting information. These courses are designed to give MBA students the accounting knowledge they need to advance in their chosen profession. Consistent with other concentrations in the MBA program, there are no pre-requisite accounting courses needed to take courses in the MBA Accounting concentration. The MBA Accounting Concentration is not designed to prepare students to pass the CPA examination.

Recent enrollees in the MBA accounting concentration had diverse backgrounds that included a neurosurgeon, engineer, biblical studies professor, Head Start program director, human resources administrator, sales executive and diversity officer for a nonprofit organization.
