All students are required to take four electives (12 hours). Electives provide an opportunity for MAcc students to study areas outside of accounting. However, one of the four courses must be an accounting course (typically Taxation of Corporations and Partnership if the student did not take the class at the undergraduate level). If a student does not have an academic background in business, specific business courses will be required as electives. Elective courses may be available in the following areas:
- Finance
- Human Resource Management
- International
- Management Information Systems
- Marketing/Entrepreneurship
- Operations Management
- Organizational Management
Please see the current graduate catalog for descriptions of these classes. Accounting core classes can be found in the undergraduate catalog.
*Only prior coursework is considered in the waiving of the above courses. In order for the courses to be waived, students must have earned a C or better from an AACSB accredited school and a B or better from a non-AACSB accredited school.
