Accounting
The Ivy College of Business really incentivized me to come to Iowa State as it provides a master of accounting (MACC) 4+1 program that allows students to get their bachelor’s degree in four years while earning a master’s degree with an additional year.
Gain real-world experience
When you choose accounting, you have the opportunity to volunteer (and earn credit!) by helping others prepare their taxes. Ivy students do this work each spring as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.
When you participate, you help the community by providing a valuable service to those who need assistance in preparing their tax returns. Plus, you gain real-world experience, which is a valuable addition to your resume.
In this structured program, you become an IRS-certified volunteer and provide free basic income tax return preparation, including electronic filing. Before preparing tax returns, you will pass multiple exams developed by the IRS and log many hours of training. After passing the IRS exams, you are scheduled for approximately eight weeks of tax return preparation at two hours per week.

At the Ivy College of Business, we are here to support you from day one. We have academic advisors ready to help you select your classes and choose your major.
An accountant in the making
Accounting is more than just numbers and math. The Ivy accounting program will prepare you for a career as an accountant, auditor, tax consultant, business development analyst, risk assurance associate or more.
