  • KPMG-Data-Analytics-New-Masters
    Patterson School Launches New Master’s Programs KPMG partnership the driving force in creating two new data analytics master’s programs at UM By Edwin Smith The University of Mississippi’s Patterson School of Accountancy launched two new master’s degree programs in fall 2018. The new degree programs include the Master of Accountancy and Data Analytics (MADA) and the Master of Taxation and Data Analytics (MTDA). The school now offers four master’s degrees with the others being the traditional Master of Accountancy and Master of Taxation. The impetus for moving quickly to create new degree programs was KPMG’s selection of the Patterson School as a partner in delivering graduate education in data analytics. KPMG LLP is one of the world’s largest international professional services providing audit, tax and advisory services to clients globally. After a rigorous selection process, the University of Mississippi became one of only nine universities in the nation to be selected by KPMG as a partner in this prestigious program in accounting and data analytics. The other schools include Arizona State University, Baylor University, Ohio State University, University of Georgia, University of Missouri, University of Southern California, Virginia Tech State University and Villanova University. The Patterson School is the only university selected by KPMG to team up in the area of tax and data analytics. KPMG is paying full cost of attendance for 135 students across the country to pursue graduate education in data analytics at one of the nine partner universities. These students will do a four- month internship during the program and have signed contracts to work full time with KPMG upon graduation.
