MACC计划的主要目标是满足这些不断增长的教育需求，并为学生提供更充分的培训，使其成为从事公共执业，金融机构，政府和非营利组织的专业会计师。因此，MACC课程强调研究技能–“学习方法”。该课程旨在为高级会计提供技术和理论基础，但允许学生根据自己的需要参加课程。MACC计划是一个30学分的计划，要求会计课程中的21个学分（编号520或更高），其他课程中的9学分。由于在大多数州，进入公共会计专业的教育要求提高到150个学时，因此学生应强烈考虑攻读会计学硕士学位。
The major objective of the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program is to provide for these increased educational needs and to prepare students more adequately for careers as professional accountants in financial institutions, government, not-for-profit organizations and public practice. The program is designed to provide a technical and theoretical foundation in accountancy at the advanced level and yet allow the student to take courses to accommodate individual needs.<br>The last two decades have witnessed a tremendous expansion in the knowledge base required for accounting professionals. The business environment has become increasingly complex, as evidenced by the growth in the body of national and international accounting and auditing standards, taxation, SEC and other regulatory requirements. The accountant must also be well versed in communications and analytical skills, computer-based information systems, professional ethics and global issues.<br>Neither the traditional four-year accounting program nor the MBA provides the educational breadth and depth necessary to fully prepare students for the demands now imposed by many accounting careers.
