Overview

The Accounting program at University of Hawaii at Manoa is designed to provide the skills necessary to build a successful career in the multifaceted, dynamic practice of accounting. Completion of the MAcc fulfills the 150 credit hour requirement for becoming a CPA.

Key Facts

Internship, career development services, and other opportunities further enrich and support your graduate accounting studies. Nationwide, accounting firms have significantly increased hiring MAcc graduates and decreased hiring bachelors graduates.

Admission to the MAcc can occur through application to the traditional MAcc or the 3/2 MAcc program. MAcc classes are mostly taught on weekday evenings (Monday through Thursday), allowing students to work or participate in internships. The MAcc curriculum includes five core courses and five elective courses, with suggested concentrations in Taxation or Financial Reporting/Auditing.
