Where Accounting Meets Data
A single transaction may tell you very little. Thousands of transactions can reveal patterns, trends, anomalies, and opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Accounting analytics helps professionals use that information to answer business questions and support better decisions.
The interdisciplinary field of Accounting analytics combines accounting knowledge with data analysis and technology to examine financial information, identify meaningful patterns, and communicate findings. Michigan Tech’s on-campus Accounting Analytics Graduate Certificate helps you build these skills while strengthening your ability to work with data and collaborate with technology and data professionals.
You'll also earn an esteemed credential: The Michigan Tech College of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
Who is This Certificate For?
This certificate is designed for students and professionals with an accounting foundation who want to add analytics and technology skills to their expertise. It can help you prepare for accounting roles that increasingly involve working with data, emerging technologies, and interdisciplinary teams.
Degree-seeking students can also use the certificate to develop a focused area of expertise within their graduate education.
What You Need to Know
Today’s accounting professionals increasingly use analytics to move beyond recording financial activity to interpreting what the data can reveal. You’ll develop skills in data preparation, analysis, visualization, and scenario analysis while learning how emerging technologies can be applied to accounting and auditing challenges.
This 9-credit certificate also strengthens your ability to use accounting information for business intelligence and communicate effectively with programmers, data experts, and other business professionals. Credits earned through the certificate may be applied toward a Michigan Tech graduate degree.
