The program encourages current PC students to apply during their junior year and complete the MBA prerequisites during their junior year. If admitted into the Program, applicants will begin taking one to two MBA courses during senior year.

Accounting Cohort MBA

The one-year MBA Accounting Cohort Program is designed for students with a background in accounting to complete an MBA degree in 13-14 months full-time; summer to summer. The program is designed to prepare students for the CPA and is focused on providing skills for accounting majors to be successful in future positions in management. MBA courses will be designed to address the specific skills needed for accountants to be successful in the business community. Students in this program will complete 12 graduate business courses; 8 core courses and 4 elective courses in 13-14 months as part of a cohort of students. The curriculum is designed to be taken as a group, where core classes are designed to encourage team-based learning. Students in this program take all of their core courses, and most of their electives together. The program begins with a summer internship designed to help students use their work experience for class discussion and, then, interweaves both core business courses and accounting electives throughout the program. Students will also engage in an interactive business project or case competition as part of the program. Please note, that there is limited space available and we will only accept applications for other MBA programs (4+1, FT and PT) when spaces fill. Students who are not admitted to the accounting cohort program may apply to one of the other programs.
