100% Job Placement for 2023 MPAc Cohort with Record Average Starting Salary

Accounting has historically been regarded as a recession-proof industry. This notion has been tested as the pandemic has stretched out and larger economic uncertainties are on the rise worldwide. Despite this, strong demand continues for audit and tax professionals continues.

100% of 2023 Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAc) students seeking employment (both U.S. and international), were placed in jobs prior to the end of the winter quarter of the 2022-23 academic year. That's nearly six months before they graduate.

The average starting salary for students continues to increase year-over-year, with our 2023 MPAc students averaging a record high of $76,000. Students were hired at large and small firms alike including Deloitte, KPMG, EY, PWC and Campbell Taylor Washburn.
