The MMPA develops future leaders in professional accounting who have a global perspective, based upon a strong understanding of management and investor challenges, as well as accounting solutions and professional expectations. Job placements have been extraordinarily high, due in part to the quality of our MMPA students, and of the educational experience our Program provides, as evidenced by the recent events described below.

Entrance Scholarships
A limited number of entrance scholarships will be awarded to select and superior applicants whom the MMPA program deem to have the strongest overall combination of academic standing and GMAT scores upon admission and entrance to the program. These scholarships vary in amount and the number allocated each year will depend upon the availability of scholarship funds. Applicants will be notified of their eligibility for the scholarship upon their admission to the program. The scholarship funds will be dispersed once a student has registered and has cleared their admission conditions.
