The MAcc ProgramThe MAcc Program is an integrated program that allows students to concurrently earn a bachelor's and master's degree in accounting. Typically, students graduate in five years but graduating in four and a half years is possible . The program fulfills the "150 credit hours" needed to be eligible to take the CPA exam.
Students apply for the program in the spring of their sophomore year when they would typically declare a Smeal major. Admission is limited and processed by the Smeal Accounting Department.
