Sprott School of Business - Carleton University
Ottawa, Canada
Sprott’s Master of Accounting (MAcc) is a program that provides a gateway to a career as a professional accountant. Students graduating from the MAcc will be exempt from the CPA Canada Professional Education Program (PEP) and will proceed directly to the CPA Canada Common Final Examination, which is one of the final steps in becoming a Chartered Professional Accountant.
Full-Time and Part-Time Study Options
The full-time stream is delivered over two consecutive summers of full-time study on campus in Ottawa and includes an internship and two online courses in the Fall term following the first summer of study. Students interested in Full-Time studies begin courses in May
The part-time stream is delivered in the evenings over 24 months and begins in the Fall term. All courses are delivered on campus in Ottawa.
Build an Integral Professional Network
Graduate with work experience through the MAcc internship (14-week minimum) experience in the private, public or not-for-profit sector. This may also be credited towards CPA Ontario’s 30-month practical work experience requirement.
