The Master of Accounting (MACC) program at UNO is designed for dedicated students with career aspirations demanding a high level of accounting expertise. As such, the program involves both intensive and extensive professional preparation, with an emphasis on technology, data analytics, and quantitative methods. This focus prepares our graduates with the technological, analytical, and quantitative skills employers demand. Our program provides broad-based preparation for individuals seeking careers in public, private or not-for-profit organizations and also offers focused concentration choices.   The MACC program offers graduates an affordable, high-quality graduate education from an AACSB-accounting-accredited institution. Specialized accounting accreditation by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) is earned by demonstrating that we meet international standards of excellence relating to delivering and managing undergraduate and graduate accounting programs, and 194 institutions worldwide hold AACSB accounting accreditation.   A very practical benefit of having our MACC program AACSB-accounting-accredited is that the Nebraska Board of Public Accountancy (NBPA) recognizes AACSB accounting accreditation as initial evidence that our graduates meet educational requirements to sit for the CPA exam. Final determination of CPA Exam eligibility remains under the discretion of the NBPA.   Our MAcc program is an approved STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Designated Degree Program. Under the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, international students who graduate from the program may stay in the United States and received training through work experience. Eligible F-1 students with STEM degrees who finish their program of study and participate in this initial period of regular post-completion OPT have the option to apply for a STEM OPT extension.
