The Pre-MAcc program was instrumental in my success in the MAcc. Though challenging, the Pre-MAcc provided an extremely solid foundation to hit the ground running. I would not have achieved my accomplishments, both in recruiting and in the classroom, without spending those few weeks intensively studying accounting.”

Participating in the Pre-Macc seminar was the perfect way for me to hit the ground running. The curriculum is tailored to help you succeed academically in the MAcc program and the instruction is personalized to each individual. It ensures your fundamentals are sound before you begin a busy schedule of classes and recruiting. I felt well-prepared to contribute in the classroom alongside my peers who had majored in accounting.
