ACHIEVE

Through the MAcc program's curriculum and educational approach, you will achieve true professionalism.

You will develop knowledge, skills, and a mindset that go beyond learning new accounting methods or tax laws. You'll hone your ability to work in a constructive and respectful way. You'll learn how to communicate an attention to detail through your appearance, the appearance of your work, and your attitude. You'll be able to comfortably interact with people informally as well as put together precise and engaging presentations. And you'll learn how to bring it altogether to achieve professional success and land a great job.

Nearly 100 percent of our domestic graduates and 70 percent of international graduates are typically placed by commencement in international, regional, and local accounting firms, as well private companies and government agencies.

We begin working with incoming MAcc students before they start classes to prepare for interviews. Our college career services staff offers one-on-one counseling to each MAcc to polish resumes, video record mock interviews, and review cover letter writing.
