Gain strong technical skills in accounting and financial reporting with the School of Business’ Master of Accounting (MAcc).

The MAcc curriculum expands the competencies of aspiring and working professionals, providing an in-depth study of advanced accounting principles. The program prepares students to pass the CPA and CMA exams, earn the required 150 hours for licensure, and excel in public accounting firms, corporations, governmental agencies and nonprofit organizations.

The Master of Accounting program prepares you to:
