mAcc Valuation

Demand for young valuation services professionals—people with the specialized expertise to assess the value of a client’s business assets and obligations—is growing rapidly. And Vanderbilt offers the only one-year program that specifically prepares you for careers at this dynamic intersection of finance and accounting.

Developed to meet the rising demand for talent, our MAcc Valuation program gives you exceptional preparation—including opportunities for paid, 10-week internships with one of our partner firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Grant Thornton, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers) that typically lead to career-launching positions after you graduate.

Only one “go-to” program meets the entry-level talent needs of today’s valuation service lines. You’ve just found it.

Ask those who know Russ and they will tell you how much he enjoys spending time with people. Whether that means hanging out with his family, coaching football or working on a team project—Russ loves it all. His current career goal? Working as an associate for a valuation group after graduation.
