The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) degree program supports the mission of Northern Kentucky University to educate 'students to be productive citizens, to prepare them for success in careers and occupations. There are four concentrations within the MAcc degree program. The Professional concentration is to allow those with an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited university, who have successfully completed the courses listed below with a C or better, to meet the requirement that candidates for the certified public accountant examination have 150 semester hours including a bachelor's degree. The second concentration is the Accounting Practice and Reporting concentration. This concentration meets the needs of students who do not have an undergraduate degree in accounting but who wish to pursue a career in accounting. The third concentration is the Expedited MAcc concentration and is for current accounting undergraduate students. This concentration will enable students to begin working towards their MAcc degree as undergraduates. The fourth concentration Data Analytics/Data Visualization, is similar to the Professional concentration. The concentration is a 30 hour program consisting of 10 courses, three of which concern data analytics and data visualization. The goal of this concentration is to prepare MAcc students in both accounting and data analytics/data visualization, which is in high demand in the current industry.
