Accelerated Bachelor’s to MAcc

Master of Accountancy | Online or Face-to-Face

Stetson University's Accelerated Master of Accountancy (MAcc) pathway lets you earn graduate credit as an undergraduate, reducing the 10-course MAcc to as few as 8 courses. Save time and money by shortening the path from a bachelor's to a CPA-ready credential. Join graduates who rank #1 in Florida for CPA exam pass rates and in the top 7% worldwide.

Why Accelerated MAcc at Stetson University?

The MAcc program holds dual AACSB accreditation in business and accounting, making it one of approximately 194 programs worldwide with that distinction. 

The program is open to all Stetson undergrads of any undergraduate major, but it’s especially beneficial if you’re majoring or minoring in accounting. You can take up to two designated courses during undergrad that count toward your STEM-designated MAcc, helping you make the most of your scholarships and aid.

Flexibility is built into the schedule so you can balance work and school. MAcc courses are fully online in eight-week terms. By taking two courses at a time, you can complete the program in as little as 12 months. You will also receive one-on-one CPA counseling and free Becker CPA Exam Prep Software, a $3,000 value.
