The Department of Accounting and Business Analytics

The Department of Accounting and Business Analytics is one of four departments in the Alberta School of Business at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

In accounting, we offer undergraduate courses that form the basis for an accounting major, with many graduates who pursue careers in professional accounting. We also offer a strong PhD program in accounting.

In business analytics, we offer core and elective undergraduate courses in business statistics, operations, management, and management information systems, which form the basis for majors in business technology management and operations management. At the master's level, we offer MBA courses that support a concentration in business analytics. At the PhD level, we offer a specialization in operations and information systems.
