Jobs for MAcc grads
While the majority of students in the MAcc program take a more traditional path after the program, there are always some who go into non-public-accounting roles. Here are a few from the Class of 2022 who took a less conventional road.

Location: Chicago
Position/company: PhD student, University of Chicago Booth School of Business
Undergraduate institution/major: Western Kentucky University, actuarial sciences
“Entering a PhD program is a big commitment — five more years in school, several extensive papers, and a niche job market — but I know that I’m prepared for the PhD program because of the guidance and support of the MAcc faculty. They wrote 15 recommendations for me within a month of meeting me, spent hours with me imparting advice from their own PhD studies, and even put together an extensive, research-focused summer reading list for me. On top of the comprehensive CPA-oriented knowledge that the MAcc provides, there are also several research-related courses that introduced me to accounting standards and recent developments.”
A combination of the well-designed curriculum and faculty who are willing to go above and beyond, I am confident to say that the MAcc Program was excellent preparation for the research career on which I plan to embark.
