MAcc Program Requirements

 The MAcc program requires a minimum of 30 credit hours.  It consists of two or three parts depending on a student's undergraduate education.  Within the program there are 8 required business and accounting courses; these courses may be waived if an equivalent course was previously completed with a "C" or better.  All students must complete 4 courses (12 credits) from a list of approved graduate accounting, finance, or financial information systems courses.  MAcc students who are waived from accounting foundation courses will have the opportunity to select graduate business electives to fulfill their 30-credit hour program.  No more than 12 credits of Oakland University courses may be obtained from courses numbered 400-499.  No course numbered below 400 will apply toward the graduate degree.
