Master of Accountancy

QUICK FACTS
Program Overview
The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) academically prepares students for a wide range of accounting-related careers. Some examples include public accounting, corporate accounting, internal auditing, accounting in not-for-profit organizations, and accounting for state and local government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, Franchise Tax Board, Defense Contract Audit Agency, FBI, CIA and other agencies.
The program offers two pathways toward completion; one for students with little or no previous accounting background who have an undergraduate degree in any discipline, and one for students with an undergraduate degree in accounting. Course content is based largely on the published content specifications of the uniform CPA Exam and the CMA exam. Students should enroll in an external, recognized exam review course to fully prepare for CPA and CMA exams.
