What can you do with a MAC degree?
Accounting is ranked No. 2 in most satisfying careers and salaries often hit six figures after five years of work experience, according to Monster.com and Business Insider.
Within the NC State MAC Program, there’s no single path to success. 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. What unites our students is a shared commitment to excellence and a desire to gain the skills needed to thrive in today’s complex business environment.
Surprisingly around half of our students don’t come from an accounting background. We’re seeing many individuals embrace accounting as a profession because it offers a broad range of career paths and great job security.

What do a third grade teacher, a full-time robotics engineer and a former military officer have in common?
They are just a few of the 100+ MAC students who have completed the ASAP Program for non-accounting majors.
The ASAP Program is a self-paced, online pre-MAC curriculum that covers fundamental concepts ranging from financial accounting to business law for students admitted to the Online MAC or On-campus MAC Program without an accounting background.
As a mom looking to get back into the professional space and switching career paths, I needed a program that was suited to my life… The entire admissions and advising staff was so helpful in getting me started and encouraging me that I could make this change.
