Today's service-oriented economy presents opportunities and challenges to the business environment. Business managers need to navigate through a formidable array of new products, emerging markets, international partnerships and mergers, and developing technologies. The Master of Business Administration program provides a broad view of the functional areas needed by business managers. These include corporate finance, economics, strategic planning, marketing, and accounting.

The global business environment has become an increasingly powerful force in the strategic decision-making of business executives. Students approach international business in a comprehensive fashion, developing expertise in various business disciplines, understanding multicultural influences in international enterprises, and developing awareness of ethical issues in a global economy.

New government regulations, greater scrutiny of corporate finances, and business growth have fueled the need for accounting professionals with deep knowledge of the important role accounting information plays in corporate decision-making. The Master of Science in Accounting program provides a knowledge base for the essential functional areas needed by accountants. These include budget planning and control, audit and evaluation of controls, financial measurement, documentation, and reporting.
