Course of Study

The Program is offered as a full-time two-semester program with additional summer study for non-Accounting majors. Students may choose their courses for a broad accounting emphasis or may choose to graduate with an Emphasis in Taxation.

We have carefully crafted a program that is more than just a series of courses: the Summer Term gives non-Accounting majors the courses they need to succeed in the program, the Fall Term consists of a rigorously designed core focusing on three integrated content areas and is followed by the Spring Term with a broad mix of elective courses.

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.  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 his or her background and current interests.

Some typical courses of study are:

• Accounting Major - General Emphasis
• Major other than Accounting - General Emphasis
• Accounting Major - Tax Emphasis
• Major other than Accounting - Tax Emphasis
