The M.B.A. degree program is designed primarily for those who wish to obtain an advanced degree, part-time, during the evening, without interruption of work.  However, the M.B.A. program is also available to those students seeking to complete the degree on a full-time basis.  This particular program is especially appropriate for those with an undergraduate accounting degree who wish to obtain the M.B.A. for purposes of satisfying the requirements for CPA certification in the State of Ohio.  It is a rigorous program available to academically strong college graduates.

For students with appropriate undergraduate course work in accounting and business, the M.B.A. degree program can be completed in three semesters: two summers and a fall semester.  The program takes advantage of the fact that most accounting firms start employment in the fall and their work is highly seasonal.  Four courses are normally taken the first summer, two courses in the fall while working, and the final four courses in the second summer.  The department has worked with the Cleveland offices of national and regional firms in designing this option.  The firms have demonstrated a willingness to work with students to provide release time in the second summer so they may complete the M.B.A. in a timely fashion.
