The Master of Accountancy (MAcy) program produces accounting graduates who are broadly educated in accounting concepts and practices. Students explore the social and environmental effects of accounting information on those who rely on it for decision making. A unique aspect of the program is its emphasis on the ethical implications of accounting, auditing, and financial reporting.  The MACY program is only offered on the San Marcos campus.

The MAcy program can be used to satisfy the 150-hour education requirement for the Texas CPA Exam. After passing the CPA exam, the candidate is also required to complete one year of professional accounting experience.

The Macy program prepares students for careers as auditors, tax professionals, business consultants, financial planners, internal auditors, controllers, and to work in public accounting, government, not-for-profit, and industry.

The 12 hours of electives for this option must be selected from a set of accounting and business courses. The student must also take a 3 hour accounting concepts course.

Note that to be eligible to take the CPA exam in Texas, the candidate must have 21 hours of related business courses taken either as part of undergraduate degree or taken at another university.  Contact the Accounting Department for a list of suggested business courses.
