Master of Accountancy

Program Description

Accountants are generally responsible for creating, analyzing and communicating financial information for companies, organizations, individual clients and government agencies. Accurate recording and reporting of financial data and business transactions comprise a major portion of an accountant’s workday.

The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program prepares students to apply discipline-specific knowledge and skills as leaders in the field of accounting. Students will develop critical thinking skills as well as an understanding of the strategic role of accounting in business organizations and society. This 30-hour degree program can be completed in 12 months and provides an excellent avenue to attain CPA compliance for those seeking professional certification.

Skills and Outcomes

The advent of data analytics, blockchain and machine learning is creating exciting changes in the field of accounting. The MAcc program at TU builds upon the traditional accounting legacy and infuses it with analytics and technology to give our students the skills they need to thrive in this rapidly changing profession. Our MAcc program also aims to develop our students’ leadership and cross-functional management skills.

Experiential Learning

During the spring semester of your MAcc experience, the program offers the ability to augment your schedule through a full-time spring internship during the MAcc experience. The eight-week internship, followed by eight weeks of condensed courses, allows practical application-based experiences without interruption of your MAcc experience.

Alumni Spotlight

This program goes into more of the theoretical side of the profession — things like valuing companies, fraud and loss — which I liked. You can pick and choose what you want to do, and I was able to dabble in areas like international business and finance. I passed all four [CPA exams] the first time. The MACC program covered a lot of gaps that I didn’t realize I had in my undergraduate degree.
