The Master of Accountancy program provides rigorous preparation at the graduate level for students to achieve success in their chosen career path in public practice, industry, or government. Students entering the program are expected to have an undergraduate degree or significant background in accounting. Building on the knowledge developed as an undergraduate, the M.Acc. courses broaden, extend, and integrate the student’s knowledge. Students completing the M.Acc. program develop the following skills: 1) Research: Students will be able to access, assess, and apply the appropriate standards, regulations, or other information needed to address accounting and business problems. 2) Risk Analysis: Students will understand business risk, how it affects decisions and how to create strategies to mitigate risk. 3) Problem Solving and Decision Making: Students will be able to identify problems, consider alternative solutions, analyze the pros and cons of each alternative and support their conclusions. The M.Acc. program is a full-time program designed to be completed in one year.
