Both distance and on- campus students follow the same curriculum and receive the same degree, a Master of Accountancy. The MAc degree provides a broad-based business education. The courses focus on enhancing students' analytical and critical thinking skills, written and oral communication skills, and understanding of the global nature of the accounting profession. Particular emphasis is given to the development of technology skills and the ability to assess business risk and performance. The curriculum offers students the flexibility to tailor their programs of study to meet specific career goals and objectives.
Students take only four core accounting courses.
In addition, they choose three accounting electives and three business electives. The on-campus residency consists of participating in the Capstone Case Analysis. The Capstone Case Analysis occurs in conjunction with the program's capstone course, ACCT 7986 Integrated Accounting Concepts for Decision Making. In addition, our graduates score significantly above the national average in passing all parts of the CPA examination on their first attempt. The annual recruitment of our students by national firms, regional firms, local firms, industry, and government serves as testimony to the Program's excellent reputation and responsiveness to the needs of the accounting profession.
