The MAcc is a 30-credit program that starts in the fall semester. It can be completed in one year with daytime and evening courses or in two years with evening courses. The program focuses on forensic accounting, financial reporting, and information systems with an emphasis on ethical issues facing accountants. Through small class sizes, hands-on learning and individualized attention throughout the program, your Duquesne experience is uniquely your own. Combined with your undergraduate degree, the program enables you to meet the 150 academic credit hours required to take the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in Pennsylvania and most other states. Duquesne MAcc students perform well on the CPA exam with pass rates exceeding the State and national averages.
