The Master of Accountancy (MAcct) Program has been offered by The University of Montana in Missoula since 1992. Since its inception, this graduate program has been accredited as part of the AACSB School of Business Administration. The MAcct and undergraduate accounting program also have separate AACSB accounting accreditation since 2001. The MAcct Program at UM had the honor of achieving the highest past rate in the country on the May 2000 CPA exam for graduate programs. These two external sources verify the quality of this program.

Ninety percent or greater of our MAcct students have jobs either before they graduate or within 3 months of graduation. Although a class is offered at the end of the program to help you pass the CPA exam, that is only one goal of the program. The structure of the MAcct is aimed at helping ensure that you have the overall skills to be a strong, productive asset to the profession of accounting when you graduate.

“Participation in the Accounting and MAcct programs was a terrific experience for me. Covering all aspects from theory to practice, the curriculum was well-rounded, challenging, and even fun; the instructors were outstanding; and I was so well-prepared that I passed the CPA exam on my first try.” Brian Murphy MAcct graduate
