Flexible MAcc Program
The Flexible Master of Accountancy Program is designed with the working professional in mind and allows the student to complete the program by attending core classes entirely offered in the evening. Flexible MAcc Program students can start the program from their current educational attainment and complete Accounting and Business prerequisites as a part of the overall Master of Accountancy program, if necessary. In most cases, students entering the program with a BBA in Accounting (or equivalent) do not need any additional pre-MAcc coursework. Full-time students with an undergraduate accounting degree can complete the 30-credit hour program in as little as 12 months, while part-time students can choose a pace that fits their schedule and time constraints.
Structure, pace, and flexibility for YOU: Each core MAcc course is in-person or virtual and meets one evening per week, except Fridays and weekends from 5:30 to 8:15 p.m. Select courses are offered asynchronously online. In addition, we use a hybrid course modality approach. You can attend classes entirely virtually or in person. You can blend virtual/remote and in-person modalities at your own discretion - keep up regardless of your home location or while you are traveling or working late.
Face-to-face learning: The program features a predominantly face-to-face synchronous instructional method, which greatly enhances your learning experience and increases academic achievement.
