Rapidly changing technology, adoption of the 150-hour rule in PA (as of January 2012), and a business environment that demands broad-based experience have created intense competition for  accounting positions. The VSB Master of Accountancy (MAC) program will provide you with the skills necessary to be a successful leader within the business world.

The MAC program provides a broad, yet intensive curriculum that spans just 12 months for accounting majors. With comprehensive coursework in AIS, finance, taxation and e-business, the program builds on your undergraduate studies and work experience to prepare you for diverse opportunities in professional accounting.

What makes us stand out

The MAC degree at VSB offers:

• Unique One-Summer Schedule – This plan allows professionals to continue to work full-time during the majority of the program.
• Cross-disciplinary Curriculum – The MAC program integrates far more than just accounting. Courses including Negotiation, Ethics & Relationship Management, Performance Measurement, Fraud Examination, Global Financial Markets, and Financial Risk Management will help you acquire a deeper understanding of complex business issues.
• Esteemed Faculty – VSB has earned a reputation as an institution with a strong commitment to quality teaching. Most of our accounting faculty members hold professional certifications – CPA, CMA or both – and many serve as consultants for industry-leading businesses.
• Diverse Student Body – The MAC class consists of an average of 30 students, representing more than 20 undergraduate institutions and a variety of accounting firms and industries.  And while most MAC students have undergraduate degrees in accounting, some have studied finance, marketing, economics or liberal arts.
• MAC to MBA Option. After completing the MAC program, you can transfer in some of your course credits into the The Villanova MBA Flex Track.
