History and Network

MAC history

We first began offering the Master of Accounting Program in 1985. It began as an Accounting concentration within the undergraduate business degree and grew from there.

Why should this matter to you? For many reasons, but let’s just focus on three.

The business world has evolved. So have we.

Having delivered our program for over three decades, we have been able to change, retool, adapt and evolve the program as the worlds of business and accounting evolved. With world-class faculty, a dedicated staff, powerful recruiting engine and up-to-date curriculum, we offer significant value to our students.
