Master of Science in Information Systems Management (MS-ISM)

Through an advisory board of senior executives the program is constantly being updated and improved. Coursework in the evenings is available to accommodate working professionals.

Master of Science in Accountancy (MACC)
This program is a practical approach to accounting theory and practice designed to deepen knowledge of information technology, fraud examination, and financial management. The program stresses ethical decision making and is one of few graduate accounting programs in the nation that offers a specialization in the emerging field of forensic accounting. For more information, visit www.business.duq.edu/grad.

Accreditation and Recognition
We have been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International since 1962. Only 15 percent of the world's business schools have this coveted endorsement.

For the extent to which we infuse ethics content into the curriculum, we were named one of the top three universities in the nation (along with Georgetown and Notre Dame). That finding was revealed in a recent survey of 183 graduate business schools conducted by the Academy of Management Learning and Education, an interdisciplinary management journal.

We rank eighth in the world for the way we integrate social and environmental stewardship into our research and MBA program coursework, according to the Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey of the Aspen Institute, an international foundation dedicated to developing leaders for a sustainable global society.
