Business and accounting degree programs

In order to help students accomplish their diverse goals, we offer business programs at various levels: master's (MBA and MSM), bachelor's (BS), associate (AAS) and diploma. Students also choose between general studies and business specialties.

  • Accounting (BS, AAS, diploma) There is a growing demand for trained accountants. Our bachelor's and associate programs prepare students for various certification exams, including the Minnesota CPA exam. Our 12-month diploma program is an excellent way to prepare for quick entry into a bookkeeping or accounting department.
  • Business Administration (MBA, BS, AAS) Business administration programs at our university cover accounting, marketing, human resource management and other topics valued by every type of organization, including corporations and entrepreneurial enterprises.

The Master of Science in Management (MSM) and bachelor's in business management programs provide a foundation for general management followed by studies in an area of emphasis.
