Online Master of Accountancy and Data Analytics Online MACC

Academics

Develop a data analytics foundation for accounting, unlock new career opportunities, and prepare for the CPA exam. The Online MACC from ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business is taught in a combined lecture and case-study format with an emphasis on significant projects. Components of each course are led live, enabling students to connect with classmates and faculty in an interactive virtual format.

The adoption of analytics techniques in accounting is not a trend, but rather the way business will be done going forward. Our cutting-edge Online MACC curriculum is reviewed every year with input from accounting professionals and alumni to ensure your degree is current and built to last. You’ll engage in relevant courses that incorporate technologies and methodologies used in today’s complex, data-centric audits, developing analytical skills and critical thinking.

Online MACC students learn from the same faculty experts who teach the on-campus MACC program — including a mix of research faculty, former Big Four partners, and professionals with exceptional experience. The School of Accountancy within W. P. Carey has been accredited by the AACSB since 1987.

Flexibility for CPA eligibility: Interested students can enroll in individual courses without completing a full degree.
