Master of Accounting
(MAcc)
An accounting professional in today's environment must possess a high level of technical competence, a sense of commitment to service, communication skills, analytical skills, and the ability to work well with people. To obtain the required body of knowledge and to develop the skills and abilities needed to be successful accounting professionals, serious consideration must be given to study beyond a four-year baccalaureate program. The Master of Accounting (MAcc) Program provides an additional year of training for the professional accountant. In addition, the MAcc satisfies the requirements of the Utah Certified Public Accountant Licensing Act for those wishing to sit for the Uniform CPA Examination. It gives the students an opportunity to increase the depth of their understanding in key areas and allows a broadening of perspective by providing course work in a variety of areas that cannot be considered in an undergraduate program due to time constraints.
» Grade Requirements: A MAcc student must complete all MAcc program courses, including electives, with a grade of "B-" or higher. In addition, the overall program GPA must be 3.0 or higher
» Credit Hour Requirements: The program requires a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond a bachelor's degree in accounting.
The MAcc Program Director must approve each MAcc student's plan of study which will show all courses that the student plans to take.
