Vanderbilt Master of Accountancy

In just one year the Vanderbilt MAcc program prepares you with the skills and knowledge sought by the world’s leading professional services firms. We know, because we structured the program in partnership with our Advisory Board. If you have an excellent academic background, strong communications skills and leadership potential, it’s time to consider the public accounting profession and the Vanderbilt MAcc.

At Vanderbilt we offer more than just accounting classes. A Vanderbilt MAcc will allow you to:

Get the inside track to land a job with a top firm.

You’ll have built-in access to recruiters from our partner firms—Deloitte & Touche, Ernst and Young, Grant Thornton, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers—four are the top ranked companies on BusinessWeek’s “Best Places to Launch a Career” list.

Have unparalleled access to a paid internship.

Through a structured placement process, our partner firms provide audit internship opportunities throughout the U.S. during the spring semester, giving you valuable real-world public accounting experience and the ability to earn $10,000 or more.

Learn more than accounting.

Along with analytical skills, the program focuses on building your leadership abilities and improving communications skills and critical thinking. As a result, you’re prepared to be a well-rounded business leader as well as a top-flight public accountant.

Be prepared to take the CPA exam.

Through a partnership between Vanderbilt and Becker, you take the Becker CPA review course on campus following graduation—preparing you to sit for the CPA exam concurrent with the Becker course. At Vanderbilt, you can go from student to CPA in twelve months.
