In today's competitive job market, a master's degree from a top ranked business school can help separate you from the pack.

The Smith School of Business offers specialty master’s degrees in:

The seniors must meet the following criteria:
  • Cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher 
  • B or better in statistical analysis or related course 
  • B or better in Financial and Managerial Accounting (MS in Accounting only)
