Rutgers-Camden lets you build a 30-credit master's from five of eight accounting courses, then fill the rest with electives from its business analytics and MBA lists. A former FBI forensic accountant teaches the forensic course, and the school gives MAcc students a free certified public accountant (CPA) review program.

The Rutgers School of Business-Camden offers the Master of Accountancy as an online degree. You'll choose between two tracks, one for accounting graduates and one for career changers. Classes mix live sessions with work you do on your own schedule.

• Working parents: one current student says the format lets her keep working while raising two children.
• Career changers with no accounting degree: the Transition Track starts with short Knowledge Seminars in financial accounting, tax and auditing.
• Accounting graduates who want choice: the Accountant Track lets you pick any five accounting courses from the MAcc list.
• Future fraud examiners: Forensic Accounting is taught by a former FBI forensic accountant, and an optional graduate certificate follows the same topic.
• Applicants without test scores or work history: you won't need the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or GRE, and the program asks for no work experience.

In Advanced Auditing, you'll cover evidence gathering, statistical sampling, fraud examination and professional ethics. Accounting Information Systems and Internal Control looks at how technology and data fit into the accounting process. Advanced Taxation covers partnerships, estates, trusts and corporate reorganizations. Forensic Accounting teaches you to spot and respond to fraud.

Accounting Analytics builds your data extraction, analysis and visualization skills, including fraud detection. The Accountant Track asks for five accounting courses plus five more from the MAcc, Master of Science in Business Analytics or MBA online lists. The Transition Track requires six core courses plus four more. One-credit electives include Data Visualization with Tableau.

An Internship in Accounting is open by permission.

The degree is 30 credits. If you take four courses in fall, four in spring and two in summer, you finish in as little as 12 months. Part-time students can take up to 24 months, and the school allows up to five years in all.

Plan on 10 to 12 hours a week for each three-credit course. You can petition to transfer up to 6 graduate credits from another AACSB accredited university. With a bachelor's degree, the MAcc meets the 150-credit-hour education requirement for CPA licensure.

You'll pay about $1,415 per credit at Rutgers-Camden, as the school reports it. In-state and out-of-state students pay the same tuition, and scholarships go to students entering the MAcc.

You can finish the whole degree online, with no in-person residency. Courses mix asynchronous and live work, and you can take them in any order. You can start in September, January or May on a semester calendar. As an online student, you get full access to the Rutgers-Camden Career Center, including career fairs, resume reviews and mock interviews.

The online MAcc is fully accredited by AACSB International. You'll get the 24 semester hours of accounting coursework needed to sit for the CPA exam. The program also meets the New Jersey accounting credit requirement. The Ragone Center for Excellence in Accounting links students with the accounting community in Southern New Jersey and the Delaware Valley.

Where this degree can lead: Accounting Degree Jobs.

A current online MAcc student, profiled by the school in 2025, says the program fits around a job and family life. She also says the forensic accounting course gave her real-world insight beyond what textbooks offer.
