Willie A. Deese College of Business and Economics

Master of Accountancy

The North Carolina A&T State University Master of Accountancy program is a new graduate program that builds on the success and reputation of our undergraduate Accounting program, long recognized as one of the best among historically black colleges and universities. This is a 30-hour, traditional day program.

We are building a class of students who can engage collaboratively as a community of learners toward excellence in research, scholarship, creative expression, and community engagement. While we understand that our students will come with different backgrounds and experiences, they all should share the following common characteristics:

  • Discovery-driven.
  • A passion for collaboration and lifelong learning.
  • Active participators.
  • The abilities to assess, analyze, and act upon complex information focused on real-life problems.
