Overview

Accountants serve a strategic role in business that goes beyond number crunching and financial reporting. They provide a foundation for corporate strategy, serve as business advisors, and understand how to leverage cutting-edge technologies.

The MBA in Business Administration - Accounting of Rochester Institute of Technology provides a broad-based education of business and technology, while focusing on career skills that can be applied to any business in the world. In addition to gaining the technological skills needed to design, operate, and control accounting information systems–skills that are highly sought after by employers–you also will be prepared to sit for the Certified Public Accountancy (CPA) exam, which graduates consistently score higher on than state and national averages.

The program stresses the skills necessary for the design, operation, and control of accounting information systems.
