#MAccProgram

As the finish line for the MAcc program officially comes into view, I have entered my fourth and final quarter of courses. When I was scheduling these classes, I did so with two specific goals in mind, preparing for the CPA exam and laying the groundwork for my professional career this fall.

After completing my undergraduate degree at Ohio State, I felt I had a strong grasp of the technical basics. However, entering the MAcc program has shifted my focus from simply knowing "how" to record a transaction to understanding the "why" behind complex accounting actions. As I prepare to begin my full-time role in public accounting audit this fall, this shift in perspective has been the most valuable part of my graduate education. 

The Master of Accounting (MAcc) program has given me a great opportunity for professional and personal growth. I have learned so much in the first semester, and I cannot wait to continue learning in the spring semester. Throughout the fall, there are a few main takeaways that resonate with my personal MAcc journey.

As my graduation in May approaches, I’m amazed at how much Fisher’s two-semester MAcc program at The Ohio State University has aided my job search. In just a few months, I’ve gained valuable professional connections, explored potential employers, and received incredible guidance from faculty and alums—all of which have set me up for success.
