The goal of the 57-credit MBA in Accounting is to supplement the Tobin M.B.A. with a level of technical competence that permits entry into the profession of public accountancy or to enter corporate management in the accounting area. The Tobin M.B.A. curriculum gives the student a deeper understanding of management problems and the business firm’s position in the economic structure of society. The Peter J.

The Master of Science in Accounting (M.S.A.) is designed to help professionals understand the function of accounting within their organizations and in the global marketplace and to relate sophisticated theoretical concepts to practical problems.
