The Masters of Accountancy - Financial/Auditing (MAcc-F/A) program is designed to develop highly competent accountants who are knowledgeable in financial processes and procedures, and fully prepared for entry into the demanding accounting profession,one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Our graduates have gone on to great success with the finest accounting firms, companies and public agencies.

Our MAcc-F/A program accommodates not only accounting degree holders, but also students who were not undergraduate accounting majors. In fact, typically 60% or more of our MAcc-F/A students were not accounting majors or even business majors. These are students who have decided to obtain an accounting degree and pursue a career in the accounting field.

We maintain partnerships with area accounting employers, creating numerous internship opportunities and job placement success for our students.

CSU’s MAcc-F/A is a rigorous program that fully prepares the student for an accounting career at all levels while also providing excellent preparation for taking and passing the CPA examination. Our students are encouraged to obtain the distinction of holding the CPA certificate.
