Second Master's
MBA/Master of Accounting (MAcc)
The MBA/MAcc dual degree program allows MBA students to apply to the MAcc program after completing their first year. With proper planning a student can receive both degrees in five academic semesters or two and one half years of full time study.
The MBA/MAcc program requires a minimum of 18 accounting credits. However, students interested in becoming licensed as a CPA will have to meet the accounting education requirements for their state/jurisdiction. To become licensed as a CPA in Arizona, students are required to have 36 accounting credits (30 credits upper division and 6 credits lower division). Please see the Arizona State Board of Accountancy for more information.
Current MBA students interested in the program will have to contact Carol Plagman at plagman@email.arizona.edu.
