Students enter the program in September and complete their degree in June with a Graduate Research Seminar. The core curriculum consists of a series of accounting and financial reporting courses. As electives, a variety of business courses are available including, but not limited to, corporate strategy, finance, marketing, international business, economics and public policy.
