Curriculum and Courses:

The MAA program consists of a minimum of thirty semester hours beyond the baccalaureate degree. The program is flexibly delivered through classes that are offered on-campus, online and using hybrid formats to accommodate all students, including those who are currently working.  

THE PROGRAM IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR LEVELS.

Levels I and II: Program Prerequisites

*Courses in Level I may be waived on the basis of prior courses, work experience or by examination. Familiarity with Microsoft Office is required.

**Courses in Level II may be waived based on recent undergraduate business course work.

Level III: Professional Accounting Preparation:

Level III course work prepares the student for successful entry into the profession. These credits may count for the 30 credit hours for a student without an undergraduate degree in accounting. Students with an undergraduate degree in accounting who have not taken one or more of these courses will take the course(s) as an elective(s) as part of the required 30 credit hours.

Level IV: Professional Core and Specializations:

Students with an undergraduate degree in accounting may pursue two of the following specialty tracks (excluding the CPA track). Alternatively, a student may pursue one track and select four electives in consultation with an advisor. If the student has not completed one or more of the courses that are part of the CPA track, then the student should complete the course(s) as part of the set of electives designed to replace a second specialty track.

Students without an undergraduate degree in accounting should complete the CPA track only.
