The Master of Accountancy (M.Acy. or MAcy) degree program is designed for individuals preparing for a career in the public accounting profession. Students explore the social, ethical, and environmental effects of accounting information on those who rely on it for their decision-making needs. We prepare graduates not only for professional licensure and certification but also for future leadership roles. Our 30-hour program offers three areas of specialization with electives to be selected from a set of accounting and business courses. An undergraduate accounting major is not required; however, undergraduate accounting background coursework is required before applying and enrolling in the program.
