Accountancy (MAcc)

The mission of the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program is to provide students with quality professional accounting education. The program builds on the knowledge and skills learned in the undergraduate program through examination of advanced accounting topics and business skills in areas identified as critical for success in a challenging and dynamic profession.

The Master of Accountancy program is designed to satisfy the educational requirements to be licensed as a CPA in the State of Georgia and to improve the possibility of success on the CPA exams. The program also prepares graduates for exciting careers with fast-track promotion opportunities in public accounting and other areas of business and government.

Current Georgia College accounting majors that meet entrance requirements to the Master of Accountancy may choose the "early enrollment" program during the senior year of their undergraduate program. This choice provides a seamless option for the student to commence the MAcc program while completing the B.B.A.

Admission to the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program is limited to holders of a baccalaureate degree (with the exception of Senior early enrollment students) from a regionally accredited institution. It is expected that admission will be granted only to students showing high promise of success in graduate study. The candidate's performance on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and the candidate's undergraduate work will be used to determine admission status.
