Part-time
Part-time students who do not qualify for an exemption from the internship will be required to complete their internship (one term) before graduating from the MAcc program. Please note that registering in the Internship course (1.0 credit) will result in a change of status to full-time, as part-time graduate students may not register in more than 1.25 credits per term (see section 7.9 of the Graduate Calendar Regulations). Students will be required to pay full-time tuition fees for the specified term.
The MAcc program is designed to be completed on a part-time basis over 24 months as follows:
