Introduction
Many students who enter the Ph.D. Prep Track choose not to pursue doctoral studies for many reasons following completion of the MAcc Program at BYU. For that reason, some may wonder about the benefits of the Ph.D. Prep Track, which is an integral part of the Professional and Tax Routes at BYU, as compared with the more general approach taken by most students in the MAcc Program.
Learning Outcomes
BYU has published the expected learning outcomes for both the professional and tax stems.
Course Comparison
The official list of courses can be found on the Marriott School website. The class requirements differ for the professional (auditing) stem students (requirements listed here) and tax stem students (requirements listed here).
The following table displays required courses for completion of the MAcc Program and compares each specific option to the other available options in the program. This schedule is flexible and can be customized based on feedback from the Prep track coordinator and individual students. To help you determine what classes will help with each research methodology, some recommendations are offered on what classes to take beyond the basic Prep Track requirements. See the Ph.D. prep track program coordinator to discuss specifics about courses.

A couple notes about the table:
- Make sure to review the updated course list from the accounting department before adding classes to your schedule.
- The Ph.D. Prep Track is an integral part of each of the Professional and Tax Routes. The major differences as shown in the table are the substitution of certain professional and tax electives for additional courses in economics and statistics.
- Tax students may also choose between taking Advanced Taxation (Acc 522) and Tax Research Methodology (Acc 523).
