Ms. Lisa Lightfoot, Accounting Discipline Coordinator and Instructor of Accounting
Online Master of Accounting in Texas
Earning a Master of Accounting gives you a big advantage in your career and is complementary to Certified Public Accounting (CPA) licensure. You’ll deepen your knowledge of accounting and related business areas and sharpen your analytical skills in our program.
It also opens the door to more advanced career opportunities, higher earning potential, and even the option to continue on to a doctorate if you want to teach or research in the field. In short, it’s an investment in yourself that can set you apart in the job market.
Program Details
Our 36-hour asynchronous online program lets you earn your degree without putting your full-time job on hold. You’ll never be required to log in at a specific time, so you can create a schedule that works for you—making it easier to balance work, life, and classwork on your own terms.
To be eligible for admission, you’ll need a four-year bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited school, plus the following courses completed with a GPA of 3.000:
- Intermediate Accounting I
- Intermediate Accounting II
- Tax Accounting*
- Cost Accounting*
- Auditing*
- Accounting Systems
*Applicants from outside of the US may be required to take the US course to build the foundation in the US accounting system prior to admission to the MAcc program.
If your intention is to pursue CPA licensure, please see the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy exam/qualifications so that you are familiar with the requirements.
You choose your course load each semester within four semesters each year:
- Fall - Last week of August through the end of November, 14 weeks
- Spring - Mid-January through the end of April, 14 weeks
- Summer 1 - Beginning of June through the first week of July
- Summer 2 - Second week of July through the third week of August
At this time, this program cannot accommodate F1 Visa Holders because we do not offer the degree requirements on campus. Applicants from outside of the U.S. may be required to take additional coursework at the undergraduate level to gain the U.S. Accounting foundation required to build upon at the Master's level.
