As demand and interest in professional accountants continue to evolve, the MBA in Professional Accounting (MBA PA) program has adapted to meet current market needs. Reduced from 66 to 49 credits, the program is now more affordable and flexible. The curriculum has been streamlined to improve existing content and remove redundancy, while still providing a high-quality education that can be completed in less time.
The program aims to prepare individuals with undergraduate degrees in arts, science, and business to transition into a career in accounting. The MBA PA provides three options that ensure you are qualified to sit for the New Jersey CPA exam.
- Full-time (one-year) study – Complete the program faster with less cost
- Part-time study – Manage your schedule more effectively and gain more flexibility
- Full-time study with optional 4th semester – Qualify to sit for both the New Jersey and New York CPA exams and earn a second degree (Master of Accounting and Analytics) at the same time. The additional credits can be earned in one or more semesters after completion of the one-year, Full-time option.
