30 Years of Excellence

Welcome to the Jenkins MAC program, where we're celebrating three decades of academic excellence, real-world opportunities and meaningful connections shaping the future of accounting and business.

Value of a MAC degree

While many MAC students majored in accounting as undergrads, others bring different areas of expertise, from engineering to communications — and that diversity makes your MAC experience stronger.

An NC State MAC degree opens doors to new, in-demand accounting career paths and leadership roles for all students, regardless of your background.
