MACCT Concentration Information

The Master of Accounting degree offers three concentrations. All concentrations are a 33 credit hour program of study.

Advanced Concentration is designed for individuals who have already earned a BBA with a concentration in accounting.
Tax Concentration is designed for individuals who have already earned a BBA with a concentration in accounting wishing to pursue advanced studies in taxation.
Professional Concentration is for individuals who have completed an undergraduate degree in a discipline other than accounting.

JD/MACCT Dual Degree

The School of Law and the Anderson Graduate School of Management also offer a dual program leading to the degrees of Juris Doctor and Master of Accounting. Those planning to enter the dual program should consult with the admission officers of both schools as early as possible.

For more information, contact the Law School Admissions Office at (505) 277-2146 and the Anderson School Graduate Program Office at (505) 277-3147.

MBA Information Assurance Concentration

Students can pursue an Accounting concentration and combine it with a concentration in Information Assurance (IA). Because of overlapping course requirements, students pursuing an Accounting or MIS concentration can typically complete a second concentration in IA with two or three additional courses. Students intending to pursue a dual concentration need to plan their studies in advance and coordinate the plan with both concentration advisors. Visit the Information Assurance web site for more information about the concentration.
