Degree Information
Start your future with Tennessee Tech!
The first and only program of its kind in the state, the hybrid MAcc program was designed to allow students to simultaneously earn a Master’s degree and sit for the Certified Public Accountant’s (CPA) exam. The goal of the program is to prepare students for successful careers in accounting, with an emphasis on professional certification and fundamental business skills. Tennessee Tech’s MAcc program represents the first hybrid Master of Accountancy program available in the state of Tennessee. While the majority of the program’s content will be delivered online, presenting a unique benefit to working professionals, the program is “hybrid” in nature in that online content will be supplemented with two weekend residencies over the course of the program.
Admissions Requirements
Admission to the Master of Accountancy program is open to qualified students with a bachelor’s degree and a major in accounting (or the equivalent) from an accredited institution. This is an online program; be sure to check the evaluation criteria details below for more information on whether you’re eligible to take online courses with Tennessee Tech.
- » Requirements
Students seeking full admission to the Accountancy graduate program are required to have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale.
Students who do not meet these requirements may be admitted on provisional standing if they meet the minimum requirement of an undergraduate GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.
- » Evaluation Criteria
State and federal laws require colleges and universities to be authorized to offer online degree programs in states other than their own. View a list of states where Tennessee Technological University is authorized to offer online degrees. If you do not see your state listed, you will be unable to enroll in any online programs offered by Tennessee Tech.
Once the program is at capacity (25 students), the above minimum application requirements for both full or provisional admission do not guarantee acceptance into the MAcc program. Consideration is given to the applicant’s work experience and other activities that demonstrate potential for successful completion of the program. Final decisions will be made by the MAcc Admissions Committee, whose members are the College of Business Graduate Program Director; the MAcc Coordinator; the Chair of the Accounting Department; and two Accounting Department faculty.
