Specialized Master's Programs

Technologies like machine learning and AI are disrupting the accounting industry at an aggressive pace. To remain relevant, accounting professionals must possess strong data science skills.

Georgia State University's Robinson College of Business MIS with a concentration in accounting and data science will equip you with a strong technical knowledge of audit, taxation, and financial accounting as well as advanced data analysis capabilities.

Companies are in dire need of talent with expertise in both accounting and data science; hiring accountants without technology skills and data scientists without accounting knowledge has proven to be inefficient and expensive. Graduates from this program will fill an enormous talent gap and be in a great position to compete for jobs.
