The Master of Accounting (MAc) is designed for students planning on professional

careers in accounting or related financial professions. It complements the educational

experience of the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) accounting major by

providing the additional accounting and business knowledge needed by successful

accounting professionals. Students who successfully complete the MAc degree meet the

educational requirements for the Uniform CPA Exam in the state of Texas. The MAc

further provides a solid foundation for entry into the accounting profession by:

• Further developing students’ understanding of the global business environment

and ability to apply such skills and knowledge to an accounting setting;

• Enhancing students’ ability to communicate clearly and effectively both orally

and in writing;

• Strengthening students’ ability to work effectively in groups;

• Furthering students’ skills in using information technology effectively and

adapting to technological developments; and

• Developing students’ commitment to lifelong learning and continuing

professional development.

MAc Admissions

To be considered for admissions, applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree from an

accredited university. While a degree in accounting is not a prerequisite for admission,

applicants generally must have completed the equivalent of 27 semester hours of

accounting, including those courses (or their equivalents) required for the TCU BBA

accounting degree. See the TCU Undergraduate Catalog for details.

There is no single formula for admission to the MAc degree. Admission is competitive

and based upon demonstrated excellence and likelihood to be successful as a graduate

student and accounting professional. Ideal applicants have high academic potential and

achievement, as well as strong motivation and leadership potential. We assess these

qualities using the materials required in the application. Please see for more information.

Students admitted to the Neeley Professional Program in Accounting (PPA) who meet the

requirements of that program will be permitted to begin graduate studies and earn a

Master of Accounting automatically upon filing and approval of an Intent to Matriculate

to graduate studies. Students who have not earned a BBA in the Neeley School must

provide evidence that they have completed a comparable program at an accredited

university. Students with deficiencies in their educational backgrounds may be admitted,

but will be required to remedy these deficiencies and complete all requirements for the

MAc before the degree will be awarded.

Students may begin the degree in either the fall or spring semester. Admissions decisions

are made on a "rolling" basis, whereby an application is generally reviewed within six

weeks of receiving all required admissions materials. Applications for students not

having earned a BBA in the Neeley School will not be considered earlier than the

semester prior to the desired semester of enrollment. 文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.

MAc Program Requirements

The degree consists of 30 semester hours of graduate-level classes. The 30 hours include

18 hours of courses required for all students. Students may also select from one of three

‘concentrations,’ each of which consists of 7½ prescribed credit hours. If a concentration

is not selected, the program must be approved by the program director. Students can

select from any of the graduate accounting courses offered, any of the courses from any

of the concentrations, and/or from a recommended list of MBA offerings to obtain the

remaining 4½ required hours. The program is designed such that students are expected to

complete the program in two semesters.
