About

Welcome to the Office of Graduate Programs in the School of Business Administration. We administer two master's-level programs for the wider business community.

The Master of Business Administration (MBA) program is designed to offer a high-quality, comprehensive and Gulf-oriented approach to the development of management and leadership skills. Its structure allows maximum flexibility. Students with a strong undergraduate foundation in business can complete the program in as little as 15 months, but individuals with heavy work commitments may elect to stretch their studies over as many as five years. Use of case studies, group projects and presentations builds and reinforces decision-making, analytical and presentation skills.

Our Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) program provides students with advanced knowledge and techniques to pursue professional careers in public and private accounting. MSA students develop skills necessary to solve accounting problems that are of contemporary relevance to the fields of accounting, finance and other business areas. The program is designed to create additional employment opportunities and promote the career success of our graduates. Career options for graduates will include positions in public accounting, such as external auditors, tax preparers and consultants, as well as in private accounting roles such as internal auditors, controllers, chief financial officers and financial analysts. Positions in the public sector also contribute to high demand for a graduate degree in accounting, both on the federal and local levels.
