Master of Accounting Curriculum

Tulane's Master of Accounting program has an industry-endorsed curriculum designed to be flexible, allowing students to tailor their education to their personal and professional goals. All students will work closely with a faculty advisor to design an individual course of study. The program requires completion of 30 credit hours and can be completed in 2 or 3 semesters.

Core courses can be waived if the student successfully completed prior academic work covering substantially the same material. Course waivers must be approved before enrollment by the MACCT faculty advisor. Any core courses waived must be replaced with approved electives to meet the 30 credit hour requirement.
