- Both business and non-business degree holders are required to fulfill the pre-core program requirements before completing the MAcc program. The pre-core program encompasses courses in accounting, economics, information systems, intermediate accounting, management, marketing for accountants, and statistics. Applicants should demonstrate their fundamental knowledge in these areas through their official academic transcripts. Alternatively, students may fulfill the pre-core program requirements by completing equivalent courses from recognized programs.
