The College of New Jersey's School of Business is set to introduce two new hybrid online graduate programs: the Master of Science in Accounting and Business Analytics, and the Master of Science in Management and Organizations. Applications are currently open for classes commencing in fall 2024.

"TCNJ has an outstanding reputation for delivering a rigorous education," stated MBA director Stephen Tomkiel. "These programs will extend that and position graduates to have an increased impact across multiple industries."

The accounting and business analytics program aims to equip students with technical skills in areas such as accounting, auditing, taxation, business law, and data analytics. The curriculum is designed to prepare students adequately for the updated CPA exam and careers in accounting.

"The demand for highly skilled accountants who are equipped with both traditional expertise and advanced analytical capabilities is growing," said Sunita Ahlawat, department chair of accounting and information systems. "This new master’s program addresses that need and will help participants achieve greater levels of success in their careers."

The management and organizations degree focuses on fostering a managerial mindset while developing management and leadership skills applicable across various professions. It serves as a professional degree for those aiming at advanced management roles through studies in leadership theory, organizational behavior, decision-making in complex environments, and cross-cultural management.

"Demand for professionals with managerial skill sets is projected to grow across industries in New Jersey over the next 10 years," commented Brenda Ghitulescu, department chair of management. "Students with business backgrounds can deepen their management knowledge while developing leadership platforms and related skills. Students from other academic areas can acquire organizational management and leadership skills which can be applied to a variety of fields."
