Getting a Graduate Accounting Degree

Many of our BBA students stay one extra year to earn their Master of Accountancy (MAcc). Any student planning on becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) needs 150 credit hours. For students completing BBA with fewer than 150 credit hours (typically 120), the 30 additional hours provided by the MAcc is a great way to become eligible for the CPA license. The extra year has even more benefits:

  • More job offers
  • Higher starting salaries
  • Higher pass rates on the CPA exam
  • Deeper understanding of accounting theory and practice

For more information about the MAcc, see our MAcc Web page.

If you already have a Bachelor’s degree in another subject, you may need just a few prerequisites to be eligible to start UCA’s MAcc. Contact UCA Accounting for an individual evaluation.
