Master of Accountancy | Graduate
The Howard University Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program is a specialized advanced graduate-level business program focused on preparing graduates for successful careers in corporate accounting, governmental accounting, non-profit accounting, auditing, and advisory and consulting services.
The curriculum prepares students, in a significant fashion, for the Certified Public Accounting (CPA) examination through intensive and challenging coursework during the 30-hour program.
States demand 150 hours, normally the fifth year of accounting education, to sit for the examination.
Our program provides the required additional coursework while allowing students to concurrently earn the prestigious MAcc degree.
