Accounting and Business Administration, MSAMBA (Boston)

Northeastern University D’Amore-McKim School of Business’ Master of Science in Accounting/Master of Business Administration combined-degree program puts nonaccounting majors on an accelerated path toward a successful career in accounting. 

Cultivate Deep Accounting Knowledge and Fundamental Business Skills

This 15-month curriculum is constructed in partnership with some of the leading accounting firms. Students will build knowledge in both accounting and business, including a four-course concentration in business analytics.

Analytics Concentration

Students will develop their analytical skills through an MBA concentration in analytics. Through four courses students use data to support business decision making and create a measurable improvement on organizational performance.

Integrate Classroom and Professional Experiences

Students will have opportunities to obtain real-world experiences that help them gain a fresh perspective while using relevant skills. They apply their knowledge to actual business challenges through class projects. Starting in January, students leverage their newly acquired skills in a three-month paid corporate residency at a Big 4 or another top accounting firm. Far removed from the typical internship, students work full-time as an associate and have significant responsibilities to deliver on organizational goals.

Students may enroll in this 68-semester-hour master's degree program for full-time study.
