Master of Science in Accounting and Financial
Management/Master of International Management
The purpose of the dual Master of Science (MS) in accounting and financial management/
Master of International Management (MIM) is to enable students to extend the breadth
and depth of their graduate studies beyond the specialties of accounting and financial
management. Based on the shared curricula of the programs, the dual degree may be
earned for substantially fewer credits than if each program were completed separately.
Students can choose to complete the MS in accounting and financial management and
take an additional 24–27 credits to earn the MIM (financial management track).
Program Requirements
Students who are interested in pursuing dual degrees must meet the admission requirements
of each program. Information on the MS in accounting and financial management
may be found on p. 48; the MIM is described on p. 45.
Formats/Locations
Courses in accounting are offered online only; financial management courses are
offered in both online and classroom formats. Classes in the MIM program are offered
online and at College Park. Students should check the current Graduate Schedule of
Classes to determine when courses will be offered at specific locations.
Curriculum Requirements
Students in the dual MS in accounting and financial management/MIM program must
complete the MS in accounting and financial management first. Requirements for that
degree are listed on p. 48.
For the MIM, students must take the following courses:
IMAN 601 Strategic Management in a Global Environment (3)
IMAN 605 Intercultural Communication and Leadership (3)
IMAN 610 Economics in a Global Context (3)
IMAN 615 Foreign Investment and Strategic Alliances (3)
