MBA/Juris Doctorate [MBA/JD or MS/JD]

MBA for Executives [EMBA]
The College offers an MBA for Executives (EMBA) program which began in the fall of 2005. The overall objective of this program is to facilitate the development of future leaders for the greater Sacramento region. The program is offered at an off-site location with a schedule convenient to the participants. It uses on-line technologies for research, assignments, and discussion in addition to classroom lectures. The program consists of an orientation, twelve courses, and an individual project to provide in-depth applications-oriented knowledge and skills for managers facing current and future business environments. Students move through the program as a cohort, which allows them to develop strong professional relationships and contacts. The entire program takes about 15 months to complete. The EMBA program’s total fee for 2009-2011 is $33,000 including textbooks, course materials, supplies, meals and networking events. Fees are subject to annual increases.
MS/Accountancy (On-Line Program)
The Master of Science in Accountancy (MS/Accountancy) program currently under review by the University for approval is in response to new developments in the accounting and business worlds. Significant changes in the regulatory climate, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, have increased the need for graduate-level education. The 150-credit hour education requirement established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) also has significantly increased the demand for graduate education in accounting
