Master [Accounting] From Oakland University

The MAcc is designed for students who are interested in careers in public, corporate, and non-business accounting. A MAcc student may earn a general MAcc degree or earn concentrations in Assurance or Taxation by completing designated electives within a specific area. 

The degree will assist accounting professionals in the dynamic corporate environment. Professionals in the field are required to be effective communicators, maintain a high level of expertise, and uphold ethical responsibilities, while providing financial information, analysis of the economic environment and input in decision-making activities.

Keeping these qualities in view, the MAcc is designed to achieve the following goals:

• Offer a graduate-level program developing superior technical knowledge and application skills beyond the baccalaureate accounting program
• Enhance students’ analytical, communication and decision-making skills
• Provide a sound base in ethics and professional behavior
• Prepare students for careers in public, corporate, and non-business accounting positions
• Provide students with the educational requirements necessary to be eligible to take professional exams.
