The curriculum combines technical accounting instruction, interpersonal skill building, and strategic knowledge integration. This Master of Accounting (MAcc) program equips you for professional accounting roles requiring both technical mastery and practical application in complex organizational settings. Upon completion, you'll be fully prepared to take the Common Final Examination.

While core technical content is primarily taught through lectures, most learning occurs through hands-on application and classroom discussions. Collaborative learning is emphasized across courses. With an annual intake of just 30 students, the small class sizes foster close collaboration and meaningful peer connections. The program extensively utilizes case studies and incorporates guest speakers to enrich the educational experience.

The MAcc encompasses all Professional Education Program content plus supplementary courses in Strategy, Negotiations, and Project Management - areas employers consistently identify as critical competencies. This comprehensive approach provides a competitive edge in the job market. As a CPA-accredited program, graduates qualify to sit for the Common Final Examination (CFE) immediately after completing their studies.

Qualification Requirements

The Alberta School of Business admits exceptional students from a wide range of backgrounds to the MBA program. Applicants who can demonstrate strong leadership qualities, unique backgrounds, work experience and the initiative and motivation to succeed in academic and professional pursuits are prime candidates for the Alberta MBA. The language of instruction at the University of Alberta is English. Applicants who do not hold an undergraduate degree from a recognized institution in which the language of instruction is English are required to provide an official result from a test of English language proficiency (ELP). A list of ELP exempt institutions is available through the Faculty of Graduate Studies. If your institution is not listed on the exemption list, but you did complete your undergraduate degree with English as the medium of instruction, we can consider your application without a test of English language proficiency (you may still be asked to provide one).
Successful applicants will have demonstrated their English language proficiency by achieving the following minimum scores:

TOEFL: 600 (paper-based test), or 100 (internet-based test)
IELTS (Academic): Overall band score of 7.0, with at least 6.0 on each band
