Our innovative curriculum goes beyond a strong foundation in accounting to include corporate reporting and analysis, computer programming, statistics, predictive modeling, data visualization, and more, giving you a competitive edge in today's job market.

Our Master of Accountancy program produces leaders who go on to be trailblazing problem solvers at the Big Four in Cleveland and beyond. In fact, nearly 100% of our domestic students land jobs right out of school.
