Online Bachelor of Arts in Business – Corporate Accounting

Corporate accounting is a specialized branch of accounting that focuses on the financial management and reporting of a business or corporation. This is an essential function for any business because it provides the foundation for informed decision-making and financial accountability. Key responsibilities of corporate accounting include:

  • Analyzing financial information
  • Generating reports
  • Planning and updating budgets
  • Preparing and maintaining records
  • Presenting financial research to stakeholders

Additionally, corporate accounting professionals can use their knowledge to offer insight on potential financial issues or opportunities within the company. The coursework for this program combines a core business curriculum with lower- and higher-level managerial accounting courses for a well-rounded education upon graduation.

What you’ll learn in this corporate accounting degree concentration

This program provides an overview of business fundamentals with a focus on analysis and decision-making based on financial information. All of these skills are foundational and enduring needs for every company. As a graduate, you can compete for positions that leverage accounting and provide valuable input about a company’s direction.

Who’s a good candidate for this program?

Good candidates for this program include students looking to enter the business world armed with expertise in various aspects of accounting, including financial reporting, cost accounting, taxation and others. This program also prepares you with the knowledge and competencies needed to put the following credentials within reach:

  • Certified management accountant (CMA).
  • Chartered global management accountant (CGMA).

Please note: This corporate accounting degree concentration focuses on the needs of businesses and isn’t a direct path to becoming a certified public accountant (CPA). If you’re specifically interested in becoming a public accountant, the Bachelor of Science in accountancy program is highly recommended, as that program will get you much closer to meeting CPA requirements.

Online Bachelor of Science in Business Data Analytics

Data analytics is essential for business as it involves extracting insights from data to inform decision-making. While this concept is straightforward, the tools and processes used to gather insights from raw data are often advanced. This program equips you to leverage automated digital tools to manage and transform raw data into clear, actionable information.

As a professional, you'll interpret data patterns, group related findings and turn results into practical recommendations. This can help your company generate reports on inefficiencies, identify key trends, guide the development of new products and services and track important performance metrics.

The knowledge and skills you’ll develop

Throughout this program, you’ll gain essential knowledge and skills needed to manage and execute big data initiatives. By exploring data warehousing, dimensional modeling, big data analytics methods and more, you’ll build both organizational and technical competencies, including asset analysis, data cleansing, gathering, integration and modeling.

Additionally, this bachelor’s degree can be completed as part of an Accelerated Master’s program. When accepted, you can earn a master’s degree in as little as one year after completing your undergraduate degree. This opportunity saves you time and money while giving you advanced knowledge in your field. Applicable master’s degrees include:

How does this program compare to a data science degree?

While both data science and business data analytics involve analyzing data, they cater to different goals and skill sets. ASU’s online Bachelor of Science in data science emphasizes advanced statistical techniques, programming and machine learning to extract insights from complex datasets and build predictive models.

In contrast, this business data analytics program is tailored to solving specific business problems. It focuses on using data to make strategic decisions, improve processes and drive growth, often through business intelligence tools and dashboards.

Online Bachelor of Science in Management

Management centers on understanding how to engage and motivate people. It also involves building collaborative environments where every team member feels valued. This program teaches you to nurture relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and stakeholders across global contexts while staying focused on performance and results.

As a future leader, your foundation in management will prepare you to:

  • Direct effective projects.
  • Navigate teams through constant change.
  • Pivot with advancements in technology.
  • Promote corporate accountability.

Coursework sharpens your ability to analyze research, think strategically and make informed decisions. You’ll define what matters to you as a leader, including the ethics and integrity that guide your actions.

Business management vs. business administration: How the two compare

Business management focuses on leading people and driving team performance, while business administration emphasizes managing complex operations. Although this management degree and ASU’s online bachelor's concentration in business administration share business concepts, your career goals can help determine your best path.

This program prepares you to communicate effectively and lead high-performing teams. It’s a strong fit if you see yourself guiding others and delivering results that support healthy, successful organizations.

In contrast, the business administration concentration builds core business knowledge to manage efficient operations. You’ll gain expertise in forecasting demand, planning inventory and purchasing services for an organization.

Online Master of Science in Business Analytics

In this master’s in data analytics program, you’ll learn how to derive value from data and modeling, lead data-driven analyses and create impactful business advantages for organizations. The curriculum focuses on data at rest, which means you’ll have large amounts of data to manipulate, dissect, analyze and measure before it goes back into motion. Graduates are prepared to translate data into a story that leadership can use to gain a competitive advantage. Transferable skills you’ll develop include:

  • Data mining and visualization.
  • Data modeling.
  • Machine learning.
  • Marketing and predictive analytics.

Additionally, courses incorporate popular programming languages, such as Python, SPSS and SQL. You’ll also gain exposure to common software you’ll use in the business analytics field, including @Risk, Palisades, Decision, Suite Tableau and AzureML. As tools and languages gain and lose popularity, the curriculum is updated to align with what employers are looking for when filling their analytics roles.

Who’s a good candidate for this MSBA?

Ideal candidates will be interested in using data and quantitative understanding to drive business decisions. Your previous academic or professional experience in STEM-related, analytical or technical work will support your success in this program. While prerequisites aren’t required to be admitted, having foundational knowledge in calculus, statistics and coding will help prepare you for the rigors of the curriculum.

Please note that a STEM background is not required to be admitted to the program. However, you’ll likely need to spend additional effort to learn the quantitative and IT programming knowledge that accompanies the curriculum.
