The MAC program allows students to complete more than half of the degree in one
twelve-week summer.
The MAC program is structured for students to meet the 150-hour CPA requirement that
is effective in Pennsylvania starting January 2012.
The Villanova MAC program enhances undergraduate accounting and non-accounting business backgrounds by providing coursework in complementary areas
including finance, taxation, and e-business. MAC courses cover a wide variety of relevant, career-advancing topics including:
- Financial market issues, such as derivative financial instruments and corporate restructuring
- The pervasive impact of taxation on business operations and planning
- Strategic planning and cost measurement
- Performance evaluation
- The impact of e-business on the business value chain
Our courses were carefully designed with guidance from VSB’s Accounting Advisory Council, a group of dedicated professionals from
prominent public accounting and consulting firms. Council members help
ensure that our course offerings are up-to-date, relevant, and thought-provoking.
