Professors: Byers, Campbell, Carlson, DeMagalhaes, Dosch, Ellingson, Hansen, Loyland and Wilde Program Description The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) degree is a professional graduate degree for individuals with an accounting background seeking advanced study in the discipline of accounting and broader aspects of business. Specifically, the primary goal of the MAcc is to assist in the preparation of professional accountants. Three supporting objectives of the Program are: 1) to assist students in dealing with unstructured problems and complex decision making in accounting and business environments; 2) to assist students in improving their communication skills in a professional setting; and 3) for those who choose to pursue the CPA designation as part of their professional development, assist in their preparation for the CPA examination. The Program is intended to fulfill expectations of the public accounting profession by providing a graduate option to fulfilling the 150-hour requirement currently in effect in most public accounting jurisdictions, including North Dakota and Minnesota. While primarily intended for individuals entering public accounting, the MAcc may also serve those who wish to pursue careers in industrial and governmental/nonprofit accounting. Additionally, this Program would prepare those wishing to pursue further study in a doctoral program. Admission Requirements Admission to Approved Status requires:
1.	A baccalaureate or higher degree from a regionally accredited institution.
2.	Completion of the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) with a score that equals or exceeds an overall total score of 500. In certain circumstances, applicants may substitute the GRE or LSAT for the GMAT.
3.	An overall grade point average of at least 3.00 in the undergraduate degree program (based on a 4.00 scale).
4.	Command of the MAcc foundation (see description below).
Applicants who meet the first three requirements listed above, but who have not met the coursework requirements of the MAcc foundation, may be admitted to Qualified Status. Applicants who fail to meet the minimum grade point or GMAT requirements, but who otherwise show high potential for success may be considered for admission to Provisional Status with the approval of the Program Director and the Department Chair. Combined Admission Individuals at UND currently completing their junior year (90 credits) towards an acounting undergraduate degree may apply to the MAcc under combined admission. Combined admission allows students to more effectively manage their course load. By taking a combination of undergraduate and graduate courses, the student can effectively take a larger course load than by taking only graduate courses. Under combined admission, the applicant will be exempted from Acct 450, Contemporary Issues in Accounting, in his/her undergraduate program. The MAcc program under combined admission will require a minimum of two years of study. Individuals being admitted to the MAcc under combined admission are considered graduate students, and are eligible for privileges accorded graduate students. Individuals entering the MAcc under combined admission also receive their undergraduate and graduate degrees in the semester when they complete the requirements of both degrees. The MAcc Foundation Applicants must demonstrate command of a core undergraduate curriculum in accounting and business. This command normally will be demonstrated by completion of the following UND undergraduate courses or their equivalents. The following courses are required, or may be waived by the MAcc Program Director.

Degree Requirements The MAcc degree is an accounting program including graduate courses in most of the functional areas of the accounting discipline. The MAcc Program Director is responsible for coordinating all aspects of the program. The MAcc degree program course requirements are:
1.	A minimum of 32 semester credits of academic work must be completed. The GPA for all courses listed on the Program of Study must be an average of 3.00 or higher. The Program includes 20 semester credits of required coursework, including the Independent Study (2 credits of Acct 997), and sufficient cognate electives to total 32 semester credits.

Those 300- and 400-level courses taken for graduate credit must have a graduate level component included to be considered part of the Program of Study.
3.	All MAcc students will be required to complete (receive a passing score) a comprehensive final examination, covering the MAcc core curriculum, excluding Acct 997. The comprehensive final exam must be taken during the semester the student is graduating. The comprehensive final exam will be offered each semester, including summer session. The timing of the comprehensive final will be determined and announced to all MAcc candidates within the first four weeks of each semester. Students will be allowed two attempts to pass the comprehensive final examination. The second attempt will normally be at the next regularly scheduled comprehensive final, but may be at an alternate time established by the Program Director. Students who have already completed courses similar to those in the MAcc curriculum may be required to choose substitutes from graduate credit offerings listed in the catalog. Substitutions require prior approval of the MAcc Director and the Graduate Dean. Students can measure progress towards completion of the degree by attaining the following criteria: 1. Maintain and complete the degree with a 3.00 or greater cumulative GPA. 2. Statisfactory progress towards completion of 32 credit hours contained in the Program of Study. 3.
