“When my MBA team finished #1 in the world in the Capsim Foundation business simulation, I realized how valuable my decision to join MIU was.” —Ganesh Baniya, Mgr. Financial Accounting, The Washington Post

Our courses allow students to develop moderate and advanced skills in a variety of areas vital to accounting, including using Excel spreadsheets and US accounting payroll systems. Our students also get hands-on experience with SAP Finance, data analysis, and data mining.

Many of our graduates become fully-licensed Certified Public Accountants (CPA) or Certified Management Accountants (CMA) and are qualified for high-paying accounting jobs immediately upon graduation.
