Financial Support

Many students receive financial support that can assist with the costs of the MAcc degree program. Financial assistance is available from several sources.

  • Each student completes a paid internship in the spring of the senior year. This typically provides a total salary of approximately $6,000–$8,000.
  • Teaching assistant (TA) positions are available on a competitive basis. About 40 percent of all MAcc students receive a TA appointment each academic year. Students teach for only one semester. Compensation includes a full tuition waiver for the semester and a stipend of approximately $7,000.
  • Scholarships are available to selected MAcc students in their graduate year. These average about $1,800 per year. There is no application process for scholarships; all MAcc students will be considered for scholarships in their graduate year.
  • Many students have the opportunity to work one-on-one with a faculty members, providing research support and/or help with grading. These positions pay an hourly rate.
