While students retain the unique skills and strengths developed during their undergraduate studies, they typically have fully adjusted to the “new” accounting curriculum after just a few months in the program. Our curriculum is designed to introduce students from all backgrounds to the accounting discipline. OK, but do I need an accounting degree, a business background, or prior work experience? > Learn why Business, Econ, Math, Science, and Liberal Arts majors make great accountants For this reason, we invite, encourage, and, ultimately, admit students who hold undergraduate degrees that are “close” to accounting/business - like business, economics, or finance - as well as those that are “far” from accounting/business - like math, history, English, or political science.

Students who enter our program with a strong accounting/business mindset tap into this experience and “go deep” quickly. Everything you need to be successful in our program, in the accounting profession and in the business world, is built into our curriculum. There are NO prerequisite courses for the UNC Master of Accounting Program.
