Pacific's Master of Accounting (MAcc), offered by the Eberhardt School of Business, is a graduate program designed to prepare students for licensure as Certified Public Accountants (CPA) under California's education rules.
The Eberhardt School is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
