The registration confirmation email will contain a link to the AACSB Exchange where the webinar recording can be accessed.
Today, data and analytics drive every business function including accounting. Therefore, integrating business analytics into MS Accounting and having it STEM-designated can significantly improve program outcomes and opportunities for accounting students. Moreover, this would also attract the international accounting talent pool as they would be eligible for an extended 3-year OPT (instead of 1-year), and this could go a long way in solving for the accountant shortage in the US.
Learning Objectives
1. Understand how integrating analytics (STEM courses) into accounting programs improve program outcomes.
2. Learn the process of converting existing MS Accounting programs into STEM.
3. Scale up your MS Accounting (STEM-designated) program by attracting the international talent pool of CPAs & accountants with the 3-year OPT opportunity (instead of the traditional 1-year).
