The Auburn MAcc program is committed to ensuring its graduates pass the CPA Exam prior to entering the workforce. Campus MAcc students sit for all four sections of the CPA Exam during spring semester of the program. Students enroll in the Becker CPA Review and take only six semester hours while studying and sitting for the exam. As a result, Auburn MAcc pass rates greatly exceed the national average.
