Master of Accountancy

Master of Accountancy

The MTSU Master of Accountancy (M.Acc.) is a complete accounting degree that prepares students to be true accounting professionals. Our program immerses students in advanced accounting techniques while equipping them with practical experience using industry-standard tools such as Tableau, Alteryx, and Excel. Beyond learning specific toolsets, students in the accounting master’s program also expand on the broader skills that empower them to excel as key business partners and advisors. They sharpen their analytical thinking, enhance their communication skills, and deepen their understanding of the ethics and rules underpinning their decisions. These are the qualities that uniquely position our graduates for advancement and prepare them for enduring career success.  This accounting master’s degree is designed with flexibility in mind, with many options to shape the coursework and the degree experience to personal goals. The Master of Accountancy can be completed online, on campus, or both, and our advising team collaborates with students to develop a degree plan that works for each individual student’s needs and goals.

Career Path

We recommend a M.Acc. degree if you are pursuing a professional accounting career. A specialized master’s program offers focused training that far exceeds the accounting instruction in a general M.B.A. curriculum, which is often limited to a few courses or a specialty track. This targeted knowledge can boost your appeal to employers that specifically want accounting expertise, especially for roles that require an understanding of complex financial techniques or sophisticated tools.
