The program must substantially cover the CMA exam content. 2. The program must have adequate faculty resources to deliver this content. 3. The program must be accredited by a recognized accreditation organization (e.g., AACSB, ACBSP, EQUIS, ect.) 4. A faculty member must be designated as an IMA Campus Advocate. “The IMA Endorsement of our BBA program helps to highlight the strength of our curriculum for preparing students for careers in management accounting, says Wendy Tietz, Accounting Department professor at the College of Business Administration and designated campus advocate. “Our curriculum aligns strongly with the content of the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam, which is a great credential for a student choosing the managerial accounting career path.” The program offers two tiers of endorsement: “It is an honor to be one of the only 23 accounting programs world-wide to receive IMA’s Endorsement,” IMA’s globally-recognized CMA program is a relevant assessment of advanced accounting and financial management knowledge in four areas: financial planning, analysis, control and decision support – each of which is increasingly critical in meeting the changing needs of business, and therefore, essential learning for students of accounting and finance. “IMA is pleased to welcome Kent State’s College of Business Administration to the growing list of colleges that support the CMA exam program and have achieved a consistent standard of excellence,” For more information about the IMA Endorsement of Higher Education program, visit http://www.imanet.org/ For more information about the College of Business Administration Accounting Department, visit http://business.kent.edu/ ### Kent State University’s College of Business Administration is one of only 180 colleges or schools of business worldwide to achieve dual accreditation in both business and accounting from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, the global accrediting body providing specialized accreditation at the bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels.
