The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) degree is intended to provide students with the knowledge and skills consistent with a professional graduate degree. The program is designed to prepare students for careers in public or private accounting and enable them to achieve career advancement in the accounting profession. While providing an in-depth study in basic areas of accounting, through its electives, it permits specialization in one of two emphases: public accounting (including tax and financial accounting) and international accounting (relevant to public and private accounting). To implement this mission, the MAcc program is constructed around the following objectives and outcomes:

Provide students with the necessary background for entry into, and advancement in the accounting profession.
Enhance and further develop the written and verbal skills necessary for success in the accounting profession.
Provide the educational requirements necessary to qualify graduates to sit for the Uniform CPA.
Provide the educational requirements necessary to qualify graduates for CPA licensure for the State of Georgia

The MAcc program is comprised of 30 graduate semester hours, including a twelve hour Accounting core, nine hours of Accounting electives, and nine hours of approved graduate business electives.
