Graduation Information

  • The Master of Accountancy (MAc) Program is a 30 semester hour non-thesis degree program. Students enrolled in a non-thesis degree program must pass a comprehensive examination. The MAc Program Capstone Project/On-Campus Residency Requirement serves as the comprehensive examination and is a requirement for graduation.

  • No student will be permitted to graduate who does not have an approved Plan of Study on file in the Graduate School or who fails to submit a graduation check request to the Graduate School prior to the semester of expected graduation. Graduation day is the official last day of each semester and, therefore, is the deadline for approved plans of study and graduation checks for graduation the following semester.
