Master of Professional Accounting 

There has never been a greater need for leadership and integrity in the accounting profession than now. The Master of Professional Accounting (MPAcc) Program at the University of Washington Michael G. Foster School of Business responds by preparing accounting professionals with quality education, strong ethics, innovative thinking, and excellent oral and written communication skills.

The three-quarter-long, full-time professional master’s degree program provides accounting students with an opportunity to complete additional education beyond the bachelor’s degree required to sit for the CPA exam in the State of Washington. MPAcc graduates are encouraged to seek challenges, strive for excellence, and show pride in their accomplishments. They develop the ability to work both independently and as contributing team members.

"The faculty are what made the program so worthwhile. They were knowledgeable, exceptional in their ability to communicate that knowledge, and took a surprisingly active interest in our progress. Because the same professors taught throughout the program, we had the opportunity to develop personal relationships with our instructors. Since graduating from the program, I've stayed in touch with several of my professors, and I've even called them for sources of information. They're still willing to help."
