Two of the most practical classes I’ve had were my professional communication and spreadsheets class. In my professional communication class I learned practical techniques to communicate in a business environment that I was able to apply to my own workplace immediately.

I was also able to apply the knowledge I gained immediately to streamline some of my own work processes as well as for personal use.

Why did you choose the MAC Program at UNC?
I formerly served as a College Advisor through the Carolina College Advising Corps and had several thought-provoking conversations with students who credited their impoverished conditions to their family’s lack of financial literacy. One student willingly sacrificed her college education (at least temporarily) to support her family – a decision that, while admirable, I found quite disturbing. My desire to support low-income communities, coupled with my interest in business, led me to pursue a Master of Accounting from Kenan-Flagler. I want to develop adequate financial knowledge that will help me effectively serve these communities as a financial advisor. I am confident that the MAC program’s intensive curriculum will help me accomplish this goal.

When students enter new academic territory and struggle to develop a strong conceptual understanding of new material, they may feel unqualified and undeserving of their seat in the class. What they fail to understand is that many of their peers are facing this experience along with them. Once this reality is discovered, the pressure to achieve unrealistic standards of academic performance lessens and the intellectual self-doubt that stifles learning and diminishes academic performance is formally eliminated. Personally, accepting this reality before starting a new academic term reduces the stakes and encourages me to achieve the highest levels of academic success. This is an interesting takeaway from my academic experience that I am excited to apply to every other facet of my life.

While it is early days, I have learned so many things in the classroom. Prior to coming into this program, I had absolutely no experience with accounting, or even matters of business during my high school and undergraduate education. Topics such as the discount factor in introductory finance or working on adjusting journal entries in ASE are the things I have found most interesting. The information is taught in such a way where you are not only able to find a solution, but you have the ability to interpret that solution. These are just two examples of topics I have found interesting.

After working a summer internship at a Fortune 500 company, I promptly learned that accounting and finance are the fabric that connect together all functions and departments of a company, especially one that is publicly-traded with strict accounting reporting requirements.

The MAC curriculum enhances my analytical, communication, and leadership skills that are necessary to succeed in today’s business environment. UNC MAC provides me with extensive preparation for the CPA exam and the opportunity to take electives in business law, contracts, and negotiation, should I decide to pursue a career in corporate law down the road.

As my second week as a UNC MAC student is coming to an end, I have already learned many time-saving Microsoft Excel tools to quickly run data analysis tools and use keyboard shortcuts to eliminate the use of the computer mouse. I have also learned some of the basic accounting principles and conceptual frameworks, along with the standards settings of US GAAP and Global Standards. In addition, I am learning in-depth knowledge about the accounting cycle and the importance of making sure you do all the necessary steps and follow all specific rules to make sure each part is accurate. Through my introductory finance class, I am learning the ins and outs of discounted cash flows and how to compute them using different formulas in Excel. My MAC 776 class, leadership: ethics, professionalism, and team building in today’s diverse environment, I am developing lifetime skills on how to network in the workplace and in daily life, while also the importance of keeping an open-mind when team members bring different ideas to the table that can ultimately guide the group to the right solution.

Why did you choose the MAC Program at UNC?
In my time at UNC, I spent the first two years as a pre-med student. Prior to college, accounting had always been what I had my heart set on, but I decided to try the pre-med track in college. After those two years, I realized that I could not continue on with this career path, and I had to return to what truly made me excited. I quickly learned that the UNC MAC Program did not require a major in business to be admitted. From there, I joined the MAC Mentorship Program and set my path towards an accounting career. Through the MAC Mentorship Program and the flexibility of the MAC Program, I was able to make the switch I needed. Now, I am a student in the program, and truly grateful for the opportunity it has provided me.
