Online Master of Accountancy and Data Analytics Online MACC

Gain in-demand accounting knowledge and data analytics skills to propel your career. The Online MACC from ASU’s W. P. Carey School of Business is intentionally flexible and interactive — including virtual evening courses led live by esteemed faculty, multiple paths for students from non-accounting backgrounds, and support every step of the way. Whether you’re preparing for the CPA exam or pivoting into a new field, the Online MACC will open the door to top hiring firms and help you stand out in the profession.

Academics

The adoption of analytics techniques in accounting is not a trend, but rather the way business will be done going forward. Reviewed every year with input from accounting professionals and alumni, ASU’s cutting-edge Online MACC curriculum 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 your analytical skills and critical thinking. Components of each course are led live, allowing students to make meaningful connections with classmates and faculty in an interactive virtual format. The school’s partnership with Becker CPA Review provides an excellent foundation for CPA exam prep.

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.
