The Department of Accounting announces the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) Program beginning Fall 2011
The Department of Accounting in the Fox School of Business is pleased to
announce the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program for Fall 2011. The
Fox
School MAcc was developed in response to the change in legislation
regarding
the requirements for an individual to become a licensed CPA in
Pennsylvania.
Effective Jan.
1, 2012, candidates seeking the CPA designation must complete 150 hours
of
college education (undergraduate or graduate courses, or a combination
of
both), including 36 hours in accounting and auditing, business law,
finance or
tax subjects acceptable to the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy.
Fox School accounting majors can meet the new Pennsylvania requirements
by
completing a bachelor’s degree, e.g. the current accounting major in the
Fox
School’s BBA, and the Fox School’s MAcc.
Students
enrolled in the Fox School’s undergraduate accounting program will be
eligible
to apply for the MAcc after completing 90 semester-hour credits or at
the
completion of their junior year.
The
first class to enter the MAcc program will do so in fall 2011. Most of
the
students who will continue on to earn this degree will initially be
undergraduate Fox School accounting majors. Fox School undergraduate
non-accounting majors and all other students with a bachelor’s degree
are also
eligible to apply to the MAcc program.
