MAcc Course Requirements
The ISU MAcc assumes that students enter with an undergraduate accounting degree. If a student has an undergraduate business degree but not an accounting degree, the student will need to complete the equivalent of an undergraduate accounting major core. At ISU that includes the following courses*:
- ACCT 3323 - Intermediate Accounting 1
- ACCT 3324 - Intermediate Accounting 2
- ACCT 4425 - Intermediate Accounting 3
- ACCT 3331 - Taxation
- ACCT 3341 - Managerial and Cost Accounting
- ACCT 4456 - Auditing Principles
*Note that some programs offer intermediate accounting in two rather than three semester courses. It is also acceptable if one of the two course intermediate accounting sequences is completed.
If a student has an undergraduate degree that is neither an accounting degree nor a business degree, depending on the students degree and experience, the student will most likely need some business core courses such as economics, finance, and operations management in addition to the accounting major core outlined above Students will need to work with the COB to develop a tailored business core program that will effectively prepare the student for the MAcc program.
