We seek to create a diverse class by attracting students from both non-accounting and accounting undergraduate backgrounds. This diversity enriches the learning experience, but also makes it more challenging to design a course of study that has the integrity to meet the needs of all. To this end, we have carefully crafted a program that is more than just a series of courses; the Fall Term consists of a rigorously designed core focusing on three integrated content areas, followed in the Spring Term by a broad mix of elective courses.
The Program is offered as a full-time one-year program. Students may choose their courses for a broad accounting emphasis or may choose to graduate with an Emphasis in Taxation. Prior to enrollment, students must complete a set of prerequisites courses, some of which are offered during the summer months in Bootcamp format.
Below are four typical courses of study based on different student academic backgrounds. Once enrolled, each student works with the Director of the MAcc program to determine the course of study most suited to her background and current interests.
