Graduate Certificates

 

Specialized Master’s Degrees

In addition to the M.B.A. degree designed to develop general management skills, we offer specialized master’s degree programs that expose students to advanced theories and specialized knowledge that provides them with the technical skills needed to excel in their profession.

Master of Science in Accounting (MSA) & MS in Accounting Analytics
The accounting graduate degree (M.S.A.) is designed to equip students to meet the educational standards of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).  Our M.S.A. program not only ensures that graduates will meet the 150-hour requirement, but it also deepens their accounting knowledge and skills, preparing them to excel in the profession.

Master of Science in Applied Economics (MSAE)
The economics graduate degree (M.S.A.E.) is for individuals seeking careers as economic, market or financial analysts in industry, government, or the financial sector.  In contrast to other purely academic master's degree programs in economics, the M.S.A.E. develops both research skills and practical skills which can be used to solve complex analytical and behavioral problems confronting business and government.

Master of Science in Finance
Our fully online Master of Science in Finance program offers courses in corporate finance, investments, fintech, banking and real estate along with interdisciplinary offerings in accounting and economics. In addition to becoming a more proficient finance professional, you’ll learn cutting-edge fintech skills like blockchain technology and AI for finance and have an opportunity to learn programming languages including Python and SAS.

Master in Management
Great business leaders need an understanding of more than just the numbers.  Leading the human capital - or the people - of an organization takes a special set of skills.  Our unique 30-credit Master in Management (MiM) program combines the best from several disciplines, including human resources, organizational development, leadership, and change management.

Master of Science in Supply Chain (MS-SCM)
The Online Master of Science in Supply Chain Management (MS-SCM) degree at Marquette University will equip you with the competencies and tools that you need to understand and lead the change in the transition from physical to digital supply chains.
