MACCTG - Master of Accountancy (MACC)

All MAcc students are expected to make themselves aware of and conform to the academic policies of the Graduate School as described in the Graduate Handbook and the Graduate Catalog.   In addition to an overall 3.0 GPA required by the graduate school, Master of Accountancy students must maintain a 3.0 GPA in graduate accounting course. 

Students may select 12 credit hours from ACCTG labelled courses at the 800 level.  Students are encouraged to consult with their Master of Accountancy advisor to design a set of accounting and other electives consistent with their planned career objective.

Students may select courses based on the following criteria.

• Any accounting course at the 800 level not taken as an accounting elective.

• Other business or non-business courses at the 600 level or above approved by the student’s supervisory committee.

A culminating experience is required for this option. The graduate student works with the major professor and the supervisory committee to determine the parameters of the culminating experience.

All students must complete one of the following four activities as an integrative/culminating experience as part of the Master of Accountancy program.  The experience must be completed after admission to the program, or after commencement of graduate coursework, whichever is earlier.

• An approved study abroad experience of at least 7 days (for or not for credit)

• An approved internship consisting of at least four weeks of full-time work (for or not for credit)

• A course such as course involving a semester-long hands-on project.

• A written comprehensive exam

Consult with your Master of Accountancy advisor prior to commencing any integrative/culminating activity for pre-approval.
