Master of Accounting

University of Alberta

The program includes a mix of technical accounting courses, soft skill development, and the integration of knowledge in strategy courses. The MAcc program will prepare you for a career in professional accounting where you must have technical accounting expertise and the ability to apply this knowledge in complex accounting and organizational programs. At the end of the MAcc program, you'll be ready to tackle the Common Final Exam.While the technical material will be delivered primarily in a lecture format, the majority of the learning will be through the application of knowledge and in-class discussion. Team-based learning will be encouraged in most courses. Classes are kept small, with 30 students admitted each year, allowing you to work closely and build strong relationships with your classmates. Case studies will be used extensively and guest speakers will be brought in to enhance the learning experience.The MAcc covers all the material of the Professional Education Program as well as supporting courses in Strategy, Negotiations, and Project Management. These courses help round out your overall knowledge base and are areas identified by employers as key skills. This gives you an advantage and helps you stand out amongst your peers. Since the MAcc program is completely accredited by CPA, students are eligible to write the Common Final Exam (CFE) immediately following the completion of the MAcc program.
