Miles Articulation Agreement

Miles Education and Related Transfer Credit Articulations

In December of 2024, the University of Rochester’s Simon Business School signed an agreement with a third-party provider, Miles Education. Miles will provide student recruiting services for the enrollment of international students in Simon’s full-time MS in Accountancy program. This agreement is intended to provide new opportunities for experienced accountants in India to benefit from Simon’s MS in Accountancy degree program. In addition to recruiting, Miles provides a set of services related to its primary business in CPA test preparation that Simon does not normally directly offer. Simon will continue to administer all educational programming, as well as maintain oversight of all marketing and recruitment efforts.

In relation to Simon’s partnership with Miles, Simon also instituted an internal policy for accepting transfer credits from two Indian universities. These agreements followed our standard approach of vetting courses, the institutions, and the relationship between the courses and our curriculum.

The agreement is effective immediately and is relevant for the MSA student cohort beginning their studies at Simon in the fall 2024.

Any student grievances related to interactions with Miles should be referred to the Assistant Dean of Students.
