The partnership will allow for the admission of four qualified Xavier students to each of four specialized master’s programs: Master of Science in Accountancy, Master of Science in Business Analytics, Master of Science in Finance, Master of Science in Management and the Master of Nonprofit Administration.

The programs are one-year in length and designed to prepare students for successful careers through experiential learning opportunities.
