Consider the following:
- The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that employment of accountants is expected to grow by 18 percent between 2005 and 2016.
- The passage of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 has created new or enhanced standards for public companies and accounting firms.
- Pennsylvania Senate Bill 838, signed in July, 2008, requires anyone sitting for a CPA exam to have 150 credit hours of higher education.
In response to these developments, the MBA program at Delaware Valley College has a concentration in
accounting that meets the needs of the accounting industry, government regulations, and student career development in accounting. Classes in the accounting program are offered during the day (4+1 program), at night, and online.
