The Master in Business Administration in Accounting Program (AMBA) is designed both for BW undergraduate students who want to earn a joint BA/MBA degree and for those who already possess a Bachelor’s degree and would like to enhance their financial management skills or meet the educational requirements to sit for the CPA examination in Ohio. The AMBA Program provides both the technical accounting and financial management skills and broad functional business background necessary to succeed in a challenging financial management career. The program is unique in that it contains an entire course on ethical issues in business and society and a capstone course in controllership. All courses are taught by faculty having the appropriate academic credentials, real world on-the-job experience, and professional certification where appropriate. Courses are based on the systematic approach to leadership and management, and uniquely combine the teaching of business theory and its practical application to the day-to-day work environment facing the student.
Curriculum
The AMBA program requires 36 credit hours of coursework, not including any required foundation courses. The 36 credit hours include a 15 credit hour core, an 18 credit hour elective portion, and a three credit hour capstone course in controllership. Classes are offered both during the day and weeknights during three semesters in the calendar year. Full-time participants can complete the sequence of 12 core classes in one calendar year. However, the pace at which students proceed through the curriculum is flexible so as to accommodate individual student needs. Each core class and the capstone controllership class meet one evening per week for 12 weeks for a period of three hours and 10 minutes. The elective courses may meet two or three times a week during the day or meet one night per week over a 15 week term during the fall or spring semester.
