International Leaders Program

The Wake Forest International Leaders Program (ILP)* is a two year sequential Masters of Science in Accountancy and Masters of Science in Business Analytics degree experience offering a unique combination of general business knowledge and cutting-edge analytics that sets students apart in the marketplace.  The MSBA curriculum builds upon the analytics core that students will take in the MSA year, expanding deeper into analytics topics relevant for careers outside of accounting.

During the fall and spring semesters, student teams work with our corporate partners to solve a significant managerial challenge. These opportunities bring classroom learnings into working on a relevant project with real world business consequences.

ILP students graduate from the MSA & MSBA with a strong business foundation, ready to utilize their analytical skills in the workplace, and skillfully engage with leaders and peers in major corporations and industry.

Due to the sequential nature of the ILP program, students will only be able to select the two-semester option during their MSA year. This allows students to complete the MSA degree before the MSBA program July start date. ILP students will work with MRE staff during their MSBA year to secure post-graduate employment.
