Overview

The Accountancy program of The University of Texas at San Antonio incorporates four theoretical and applied components that prepare students well for their careers as professional accountants. There is a constant demand or well-trained accountants in both the private and public sectors. Increasingly, the Master's degree is being seen not just as a preferred, but as a required credential for entry into the public accounting profession.

The Master of Accountancy (MACY) degree is designed to accommodate applicants with a degree in any field. Applicants must either complete the equivalent of a B.B.A. degree in accounting from an accredited institution or must enroll in the MACY core courses plus certain accounting courses set out by the Coordinator of Graduate Programs in Accounting. Students whose background is in business, but who have completed MACY core courses or their equivalents seven or more years before entering the program may be required by the MACY Admissions Committee to successfully complete or test out of the MACY core courses. MACY core courses may be taken simultaneously with the MACY requirements, subject to course prerequisites and approval of the Coordinator of Graduate Programs in Accounting.

Why Pursue a Master of Accountancy?

The Master of Accountancy is the most expeditious way for students to complete the 150 credit hour educational requirement to sit for the Certified Public Accountant Examination in Texas. A typical undergraduate student (120 hours), regardless of prior major, can reach the 150 credit hour limit and meet the accounting coursework requirements (30 hours) to sit for the exam by completing the MACY program.
