Curriculum for the future. We offer three masters programs of study to accomodate the diversity of backgrounds and educational pursuits of our students: for application deadline information please follow the links below.

• Master of Accounting (MAcc)   
  The MAcc program is a full-time, one-year program in which students study accounting in greater depth than is typically provided in an undergraduate accounting program or MBA program with a concentration in accounting.  Completion of the program qualifies students to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam. 
• Master of Business Taxation (MBT) 
  The MBT program is a full-time, one-year program that provides a broad understanding of taxation, an appreciation for the complexities of decision-making, and practice in explaining the tax implications of various courses of action.  Completion of the program qualifies students to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam. 
• Master of Business Taxation - Working Professionals (MBT-WP) 
  The MBT-Working Professionals program is a part-time, evening program designed specifically for students who wish to remain fully employed while pursuing their graduate studies.  This program provides the same rigorous curriculum as the full-time program.  Most students complete the program in two to three years.
• Progressive Degree (MAcc or MBT)
  (**for current USC undergraduate students only)
  
  Progressive Degree refers to a simplified Early Admission to our MAcc or MBT program for select USC students.
  The curriculum is identical to our Full-time programs.  It provides an opportunity for outstanding USC undergrads to apply to our graduate programs without going through the regular application process.
