Of these, six institutions have been designated with an accounting-specific designation. As an alternative, Marquette University, the seventh-largest institution in the state by enrollment, also has an accounting program accredited by the AACSB.

University of Wisconsin-Madison - Master of Accountancy

Listed as the largest institution in the state of Wisconsin in terms of enrollment, the Master of Accountancy can be obtained in either the Graduate (GMAcc) or Integrated (IMAcc) formats. The pathway selected depends on if the student is already taking an accounting program at the undergraduate level or they are coming in with a completed undergraduate degree.

The IMAcc format adds on a fifth year to students that are already receiving a Bachelor's in Business Administration with a major in Accounting. There is an opportunity to specialize in Taxation, giving students the courses needed for this particular career. As the business school is accredited by the AACSB, the curriculum will be enough to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam.

The GMAcc format adds foundational courses for students that do not come from a business background. They will receive the education needed in two years with full-time enrollment. The same Taxation specialization is also available and can be pursued in the second year.

Benefits of taking the IMAcc program include the ability to study abroad or pursue an internship in the summer semester to further real-world experience. Students will be compensated in the summer internship instead of receiving credit for the GMAcc. According to the university, graduates have gone on to 100 percent placement rate in the first three months of graduation.
