Master of Accountancy (MAcc)

The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program is designed to prepare students for the rapidly changing environment of the accounting profession. Students completing the program develop strong technical and accounting skills and are exposed to state-of-the-art tools and techniques in auditing, financial reporting, and taxation. The MAcc program emphasizes the skills needed to succeed in the business community, including teamwork, leadership, and the ability to communicate effectively. The MAcc program is sufficiently flexible to accommodate students with bachelor degrees in any field after they have taken some required undergraduate or graduate courses to enhance their knowledge of business in general and accounting in particular.

MAcc students may specialize in Financial Reporting/Auditing or Taxation. Students may also design their own areas of specialization to meet their specific academic goals. Students wishing to become Certified Public Accountants are likely to be particularly attracted to the MAcc program since they can study for the degree while satisfying the 150 Hour requirements to sit for the professional certification examination.
