MAcc & MS Accounting: UMICH vs. NYU

Question: What distinguishes UMich's Master of Accounting program from NYU's Master of Science in Accounting?

Personal Background: I come from a technology sales background with four years of experience, primarily in selling ERP systems to Treasurers, Controllers, FP&A professionals, and CFOs. I've also sold Data Management solutions to CTOs, CIOs, and VP of Infrastructure. My experiences have piqued my interest in transitioning into corporate finance-related roles such as FP&A, Treasury, Corporate Banking, Treasury Sales, or even going towards product management for Payments (Fintech).

I'm not keen on pursuing careers in Investment Banking (IBD), Private Equity (PE), Hedge Funds (HF), or Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), and getting an MBA is not an option for me.

As I've begun to explore this career path, I've noticed two schools with intriguing curricula, but they differ in a couple of significant ways. UMich's MAcc program appears to offer a more traditional accounting education, while NYU's program incorporates more applied data analytics into its coursework. Does anyone here have personal experience or know someone who has completed either of these programs? Could you explain the differences in potential career opportunities and outcomes for corporate finance roles?

I understand that many graduates from these programs typically start their careers at Big4 firms, which I assume can serve as a stepping stone for a few years before transitioning into the desired corporate roles?
