MACC Accounting - Strategic Management Accounting Concentration
The MACC program offers graduates an affordable, high-quality graduate education from an AACSB-accounting-accredited institution. Specialized accounting accreditation by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is earned by demonstrating that we meet international standards of excellence relating to delivering and managing undergraduate and graduate accounting programs, and 194 institutions worldwide hold AACSB accounting accreditation.
A very practical benefit of having our MACC program AACSB-accounting-accredited is that the Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy (NBPA) recognizes AACSB accounting accreditation as initial evidence that our graduates meet educational requirements to sit for the CPA exam. Final determination of CPA Exam eligibility remains under the discretion of the NBPA.
Our MAcc program is an approved STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Designated Degree Program. Under the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, international students who graduate from the program may stay in the United States and received training through work experience. Eligible F-1 students with STEM degrees who finish their program of study and participate in this initial period of regular post-completion OPT have the option to apply for a STEM OPT extension.
MACC students are eligible to apply for graduate scholarships, fellowships, and assistantships and will find information about these opportunities at MAcc.unomaha.edu. Employed applicants should explore tuition reimbursement plans from their employers.
Applications for this program are accepted on a rolling basis. All materials must be submitted prior to the beginning of the semester in which the student has elected to begin coursework.
Students who have completed the foundation requirements or their equivalents at a properly accredited institution before their application must have an overall GPA of (3.0/4.0) in these courses and earned no grade on any of the foundation courses lower than a C (2.0/4.0).
The basic structure of the MACC program is as follows:
Students select one of the four concentration areas. The choice will determine the courses to be completed within the three sections above.
Transfer credits: All transfer credits must be approved by the Director of the MACC Program. A maximum of 9 credit hours may be considered, and must be earned at an AACSB-accredited institution.
A maximum of 9 credit hours of "8--6" (dual-level) courses may be included in the MACC program of study. Courses completed as undergraduates cannot be repeated for graduate credit.
All MACC students must have completed or complete a course with approved coverage of governmental and nonprofit topics in either their undergraduate or graduate program. UNO courses that meet this requirement include ACCT 4070 as a part of an undergraduate degree; or ACCT 8076 or ACCT 8090 as a part of this graduate MACC degree.
Students earning a third grade of "C+" or below (or any single grade of "C- "(1.67 on a 4.0 scale) will be automatically dismissed from the MACC program. Dismissed students will be immediately administratively withdrawn from all courses in which they are enrolled for MACC credit in any subsequent semester or summer session until reinstatement has been granted by the MACC graduate program committee (MACC GPC).
Students who have been dismissed from the MACC program may submit a written petition for reinstatement to the MACC GPC. Students who have petitioned the MACC GPC for reinstatement may not enroll in any courses for MACC credit. Upon receiving a petition for reinstatement, the MACC GPC will evaluate the student's petition. As part of the reinstatement petitioning process, the MACC GPC reserves the right to examine the student's academic record and reserves the right to speak to any previous instructor who has taught the student, and this information may be used by the MACC GPC in the reinstatement decision. Information provided by previous instructors will not be shared with the student. Reinstatement is a privilege, and not all students who are dismissed will be reinstated. Students who have been reinstated will be subject to reinstatement conditions as specified by the MACC GPC. These reinstatement conditions may include retaking one or more courses in which the student must earn a grade of "B" (3.0) or higher (the exact grade requirements for retaken courses may in fact be higher than "B" (3.0)). Students not achieving the reinstatement conditions will be automatically dismissed with no additional opportunity for reinstatement.
