MC’s Online MBA Accounting Concentration offers a career-advancing combination of business management and accounting courses. You’ll gain the educational background to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), attain other professional certifications or to build more intensive accounting knowledge for business management. If you are interested in focusing your graduate degree solely in accounting, you should consider MC’s online Master of Accounting degree.
If you’re interested in both the business and legal professions, Mississippi College offers a joint JD and MBA degree. Holding both a JD and an MBA gives an edge to prospective attorneys whose career plans include work with corporations and partnerships, corporate financing, or transactional work.
Earning a JD typically requires three years of study; earning an MBA as a full time student typically requires one year. Because some course credits apply toward both the JD and the MBA, this program makes it possible to earn both degrees in three years rather than in five.
Note that the JD portion of this degree is in-person at the MC School of Law in Jackson, Mississippi.
The Master of Business Administration degree builds on a foundational core of undergraduate courses normally taught at business schools. All of the prerequisites for the two-year General MBA program can be obtained from Mississippi College’s adult undergraduate offerings which are taught at night.
