The Program

The Department of Accounting and Management Information Systems offers a program of study leading to the Master of Accountancy degree. The mission of the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program is to build upon the base of knowledge obtained at the baccalaureate level, and to further nurture the personal and professional development of those interested in graduate education in areas relevant to the practice of public accounting. The department is committed to offering programs and a setting that attract students as they choose among competing programs and offers an opportunity to specialize in financial reporting/auditing, accounting information systems, and taxation.

Prerequisites for Graduate Work

Graduates from any accredited baccalaureate program may be admitted to the MAcc program. However, the program is primarily designed for students with the equivalent of a business degree and an undergraduate accounting specialization from an accredited school. All MAcc students must obtain an appropriate background prior to undertaking graduate accounting courses including:

  1. Satisfactory competencies in written communications and personal computer skills;
  2. An appropriate general business background and;
  3. An appropriate course work in financial accounting, managerial accounting, auditing, taxation, and accounting information systems.
