Dual Degree Program
A dual degree program allows learners to earn two credentials in different fields. These programs are beneficial for students who have multiple areas of interest. Having two degrees allows for more professional options. Ottawa University’s dual degree program is particularly attractive to students because of the accelerated online format.
Dual Degree Options
Master of Accountancy
Ottawa University’s Master of Accountancy program is a specialized degree designed to help prepare students for careers as professional accountants in public practice, industry, government, and not-for-profit organizations. The program will enhance students accounting knowledge, develop strong analytical, written, and oral communication skills, augment interpersonal skills, and provide more career opportunities while helping meet the 150-hour education requirement for the CPA examination in most states. It is comprised of 30 semester credit hours with courses ranging from auditing and attestation, business environment and conceptual understanding to financial accounting, reporting, analysis, and business regulation.
Master in Human Resources
Our Master in Human Resources degree is designed for working adults who wish to increase their human resources skills. The program has been created to provide graduates who work in human resources and management. The program seeks to promote professional excellence, academic attainment, and the ability to synthesize, integrate and apply knowledge in meaningful and relevant ways. Concentrations are available in Population Health/Health Care Management and Leadership Development.
Master In Leadership
The Master in Leadership program is designed to prepare leaders to make a difference in their organizations immediately following graduation. Through the use of human resource foundational concepts, examination of contemporary and classic leadership theories, investigation of successful leadership behaviors across a wide range of environments, application of leadership principles to create value, and discovery of the strengths and development needs of their personal leadership style, students will develop the skills to lead their organizations to new levels of performance.
Master of Business Administration
Our Master of Business Administration has been developed to serve the needs of adult learners and organizations with a high-quality professional preparation in business within which the importance of personal values and professional ethics are incorporated. The Master of Business Administration emphasizes a global perspective on business, communication skills, and direct application to students' current and future career goals. Students are offered a selection of programs with concentrations geared to a variety of interests that best meets their individual goals and needs.
