\"unc\"<\/a>UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School just announced its plan to launch Accounting@UNC, an online version of its top-ranked Master of Accounting<\/a> (MAC) Program. The 15-month online MAC program, which will commence July 2015, will use the same faculty and career placement approach, as well as the same admissions standards and curriculum, as the 12-month residential MAC program. Included in the 15 months is a three-month internship and a number of face-to-face immersion phases, including orientation, recruitment, and leadership development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a long tradition of excellence in accounting education and one of the very best accounting departments in the world, UNC Kenan-Flagler<\/a> is uniquely positioned to offer the premier online MAC program,\u201d said UNC Kenan-Flagler dean, Douglas A. Shackelford. \u201cDemand for hiring our MAC graduates has never been stronger, with 98 percent having accepted employment offers by graduation. Historically, firms have wanted to hire more of our graduates, but space constraints prevented us from increasing the program\u2019s size. Technology now lets us increase access to a UNC education for even more talented people and meet the demand from companies who want to hire them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And according to Jana Raedy, associate dean of the MAC Program, the masters in accounting isn\u2019t just for business majors. \u201cHistory and English majors, please apply. We value liberal arts education and it benefits our graduates\u2019 long-term career success as they move into positions of leadership,\u201d said Raedy.<\/p>\n

UNC Kenan-Flagler already has a successful track record when it comes to online degree programs, in particular with its MBA@UNC<\/a> program which launched in 2011 with 19 students and currently has 550 enrolled students.<\/p>\n
