Our challenging project-based classes tackle some of the biggest questions facing organizations now, and in the future — issues that aren’t even in the textbooks yet. What is accounting’s role in creating more resilient enterprises and communities? How do you do a diversity audit? How do you preserve assets in the face of a negative social media campaign? You’ll work side by side with world-class faculty and colleagues to answer these questions and questions that have yet to be asked.

Complete the Rady MPAc in as little as nine months, and then be ready to add value to top firms with your quantitative know-how and big picture thinking. 

For UC San Diego students, the program offers a junior-year-entry option, enabling students to graduate with both an undergraduate and a master’s degree in five years.
