Common Questions

Master of Accounting FAQ

Most MAcc programs prescribe 60-80% of coursework. Ohio State lets you customize 78% of your credits through electives, so you can focus on audit, tax, advisory, or a combination based on your career goals.
Ohio residency for tuition purposes requires living in Ohio for 12 months before enrollment with financial independence. Since the program is only 9 months, most out-of-state students will pay the non-resident rate.
