The Master in Business Administration in Accounting (AMBA) is designed to allow students to earn an MBA while obtaining the required 150 semester hours typically required to sit for the CPA examination in Ohio.
The program is also appropriate for individuals wanting to enhance their financial management skills but not necessarily seeking certification.
Baldwin-Wallace College undergraduates can complete the AMBA program concurrently with a bachelor's degree in business administration as coordinated 3/2 dual degree program.
Individuals already having a bachelor's degree can enroll in the AMBA as a stand-alone graduate program.
