Who should apply to the MAC program?

The program is ideally suited for those who wish to launch or transition into a career in accounting. As rapid technological advancements are changing the industry, the MAC program gives you a competitive advantage to enter the field with the more advanced and well-rounded skills the industry is seeking.

College graduates (BS or BA) with an accounting major, minor or coursework in accounting attained through other courses of study are encouraged to apply. (See below for prerequisites.)

  • Average work experience: 1 year

*The GMAT/GRE is optional for applicants but may be requested by the admissions committee to strengthen an application. Significant emphasis is placed on prospective students' undergraduate Accounting grades.

Are there any prerequisites?

As part of our MAC evaluation process, we review candidate transcripts for the following pre-requisites to be completed prior to the start of classes. Pre-requisite courses must be taken at an AACSB-accredited institution with a grade of 鈥淏鈥 or higher:

  • Intermediate Accounting I
  • Intermediate Accounting II
  • Federal Income Tax
  • Audit

The MAC curriculum is interdisciplinary, integrating far more than just accounting. Courses include:

  • Leadership for the New Accounting Professional and Negotiations
  • Advanced Topics in Auditing, Advanced Topics in Financial Reporting & Fraud, Taxes & Business Strategy, Performance Measurement & Business Risk Management, Valuation Issues in Accounting
  • Accounting Analytics, Data Models, Special Topics in Accounting Analytics

The MAC program at 奶糖直播, while not designed to be a CPA review, when paired with the appropriate undergrade course work, does combine the necessary topics and accounting theories needed to successfully prepare for the exam. Students are encouraged to research their specific state requirements prior to applying for the exam. In addition, MAC students gain access to highly discounted Becker CPA Exam Review materials.

MAC to MBA Option

To assist their transition into leadership roles, MAC graduates may later apply for admission into the Professional MBA program and transfer twelve of their MAC credits toward their MBA degree.
