The Vanderbilt Master of Accountancy program is designed to be a full-time, intense one-year program that begins in August of each year with graduation the following spring. Students entering the MAcc program need to have demonstrated strong academic performance in prior university studies. Students must have completed introductory courses in financial accounting, managerial accounting and statistics from an accredited school, with a grade of ‘B’ or better. Many students are admitted to the program before this requirement is met.
All applications will be reviewed by a committee of Accounting faculty.

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) will be waived only for candidates who have earned a university degree in an English speaking country—not just an English-speaking institution—or those who have lived and worked in an English-speaking country for the past two or more years. We will also accept the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) in lieu of the TOEFL.
