PROGRAM UPDATES<br />
CONTINUED<br />
MBA<br />
The MBA program will become an on-campus<br />
program after being delivered at Centerra<br />
since its inception two years ago. The program<br />
graduated its first class <strong>this</strong> past spring and<br />
has about 14 students enrolled at any given<br />
time. The move to campus will allow MCB to<br />
better develop cross-campus partnerships<br />
with other programs that would benefit from a<br />
business component.<br />
According to graduate coordinator Don<br />
Gudmundson, there is a partnership in the<br />
works with Jiangxi University of Finance and<br />
Economics in China for UNC to host Chinese<br />
students as they gain language proficiency<br />
and then take 500-level business courses in<br />
preparation for enrolling in the MBA or MAcc.<br />
“An international program that brings in<br />
students from another part of the world helps<br />
our students understand the world better<br />
and is more attractive to potential students,”<br />
Gudmundson says. He hopes to enroll the first<br />
Chinese students in Fall 2017.<br />
MAcc<br />
The MAcc program had 12 graduates in<br />
the class of 2016. This program gives<br />
students the opportunity to complete the<br />
150 credits required to sit for the CPA exam<br />
and provides students with skills in applied<br />
accounting research, communication and<br />
problem solving.<br />
