About Master’s Program,
As business processes move toward automation, employers need accounting professionals with curious minds who can lead companies into the future. In Iowa’s in-person MAc program, you’ll learn to embrace ambiguity, ask probing questions, and leverage new technology. Build your critical thinking muscle while earning the additional semester hours you need to take the CPA exam in our two-year program.
Choose one of four unique tracks to add focus to your degree: Financial Accounting/Auditing, Managerial Accounting, Business Analytics, or Tax.
