MAcc Accountancy at West Virginia University

Programme overview

Given the changing environment in both the public and private sectors of the economy, many accountants will need an educational background that goes beyond what is taught in an undergraduate degree program. Accountants must be proficient in applying professional concepts and principles to a wide variety of existing and emerging situations as an effective member of a team and also have the ability to adapt to new standards and methods of doing business. Competing in such an environment requires a solid technical foundation, adeptness in analyzing complex business situations, and the ability to effectively communicate recommended solutions and conclusions.
