MBA Specialization in Internal Auditing

This 12 credit-hour specialization is designed to provide MBA students seeking careers in managerial positions within corporations or other organizations or as consultants with the competencies required of internal auditors. Competencies include assessing risk, evaluating internal controls, documenting compliance with laws, and detecting fraud among others. Students will be prepared to study for professional certifications, such as a certified internal auditor (CIA from the Institute of Internal Auditors), certified fraud examiner (CFE from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners) or others. The revised MBA program allows for four electives so this specialization does not add credit hours to the MBA program.

To receive an MBA with the Internal Auditing specialization, you must complete all the MBA foundation, core, an innovation restricted elective, an analytical skills restricted elective, and all courses required for the specialization.

Accounting Faculty advisors are Drs. Bob Okopny, Lois Mahoney, and Zafar Khan.

Offered by the Faculty from the Department of Accounting and Finance.
