Affordable, high-quality graduate accounting education
The UNO Master of Accounting program is AACSB accounting-accredited, one of only three programs in Nebraska.
 |
Professional Preparation
The UNO MAcc degree program provides a high-quality graduate-level educational experience and is designed for dedicated students with career aspirations demanding a high level of accounting expertise.
MAcc candidates choose from 4 possible concentrations and complete 30 credit hours of graduate accounting core, contemporary business, and elective courses after they have completed the required undergraduate foundations courses that represent sufficient preparation for accounting graduate studies.
Because foundations requirements may be satisfied by satisfactory evidence of prior preparation or by completion of these courses at UNO prior to starting graduate courses, students with or without undergraduate accounting degrees may be admitted to this program.
See our MAcc brochure and other resources below.

NE CPA Exam and AACSB Accounting Accreditation - UNO MAcc graduate benefit
UNO accounting programs maintain AACSB accounting accreditation. The Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy recognizes AACSB accounting accreditation as “Level 1 accreditation," which means that the board accepts the UNO MAcc degree, without additional verification, as evidence that UNO MAcc graduates meet all educational requirements to sit for the CPA exam (see Chapter 9 of Rules and Regulations Title-288).
