Artificial Intelligence is Changing Business.

The chatter about artificial intelligence is permeating all areas of business—and it's all over the popular news and business media. The consensus among experts seems to be that technology is not necessarily going to replace humans, and certainly not going to replace us on a whole scale, but instead, people will be expected to work alongside technology as a work partner more and more as we go into the future. Here are a few ways we'll work alongside the technology:

  • Data-Driven Decision Making: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms can process vast amounts of data to identify patterns and trends that would be impossible for humans to spot. This enables businesses to make more informed decisions by providing actionable insights.

  • Automation of Tasks: AI-powered automation tools can streamline repetitive and time-consuming tasks, freeing up employees to focus on more strategic and creative work. This can lead to increased efficiency, reduced costs, and improved productivity. 

  • Enhanced Customer Experience: AI-powered tools can personalize customer experiences by analyzing customer data and tailoring recommendations and offers to individual preferences. This can lead to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty. 

  • Innovation and Product Development: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning can accelerate innovation by enabling businesses to quickly analyze large datasets, identify new opportunities, and develop new products and services.  

The technology is transforming the way businesses operate and manage their operations. By embracing these technologies, organizations can gain a competitive advantage, improve efficiency, and drive growth.

The world of Artificial Intelligence is exciting. To capitalize on the technology, organizations will need to consider the skills of the people they hire.

 Let us know when you are ready to earn your M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory degree by applying to the program. Our online application will only take you a few minutes to complete. Before you submit the application, you’ll be asked to use your credit card or bank account to pay the $50 application fee.

Insider tips:
The earlier you apply and submit a completed application, the faster you’ll receive an admission decision. Each one of your supporting admission documents may be sent individually. Your admission portal will keep track of what the UBalt Admission team has received.

A bachelor’s degree in any field is required for admittance into the UBalt M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services program. This program is open to students without an accounting undergraduate degree as well as those who have earned an accounting-focused bachelor’s degree. The undergraduate GPA for admitted students typically ranges from 2.9 to 4.0.

Historically, admitted M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services students have average cumulative GPA's of 3.2 and come from a variety of academic majors, with the majority having some sort of prior accounting education.

The University of Baltimore has several scholarships that may be available for those students who have submitted competitive GPA documentation.

A key factor for all applicants is the undergraduate GPA, although graduate coursework will be taken into account. Request your official transcripts as soon as possible, as they can take time to print, prepare and mail. The Office of Admission requires original transcripts from all universities you’ve attended. It’s easiest to have the institution send your transcript directly to us.

If you are mailing an institution’s transcript, do not break the seal upon receipt. If you attended a non-U.S. institution, you must provide the official transcript and a transcript evaluation with a course-by-course analysis conducted by a transcript evaluation service such as World Education Services. 

Send your resume to our team via email. By submitting your resume you are signaling that you are a polished professional. That’s great because our students are professionals who are looking to enhance or change their careers. The diversity of your overall work experience is important to us.  

The Admissions Committee holistically considers your transcripts, work experience, personal statement and professional recommendation in the evaluation process.

Your personal statement is important, so take your time writing it. Please submit it to documents@ubalt.edu

Clearly tell the admissions committee more about your background and your interests. Share the reasons why you are interested in pursuing a University of Baltimore degree in M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services.

Include your thoughts about how the program will assist you in achieving your academic and professional development goals. Make sure your essay is well written and exhibits a high level of academic and professional competency. Again, don’t forget to proofread for grammatical and spelling errors. 

One recommendation letter is required for candidates with a GPA less than 3.0.  It should come from someone with the ability to evaluate your academic aptitude and/or professional experience, such as a professor, supervisor, project partner, or mentor.

Candidates with a GPA above 3.0 are not required to submit a letter of recommendation but it is welcomed.

Examples should include details of your work history, thoughts on your competence as an employee, an explanation of why they think you’d be a successful M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services candidate, description of your academic ability, etc.

Ask the writers to put their letters of recommendation in sealed envelopes with their signatures on the back flap. Give those individuals who are writing your letters of recommendation at least two weeks—but preferably a month—to complete the task. This allows them to take their time and communicate their thoughts and recommendations of the likelihood that you will succeed in the program.
