Carroll College is launching a new Master of Accountancy (MACC) program. This is the first graduate program at Carroll and it will be delivered in a hybrid format with 90% of the classes conducted online with several in-person residencies. Full-time students are able to complete the program in one year. The MACC degree is designed to be accessible to both full-time and part-time students, as well as those who are already professionals in their communities, by providing a comprehensive program that is flexible for students in various geographic locations. “The market and need for strong certified public accountants cannot be understated. As an internationally recognized and respected credential, high-quality CPAs are in heavy demand in the workforce in both the state of Montana and throughout the nation,” said Dr. Ashley Hope, assistant professor of accounting.

We are very saddened to share the news that former trustee, dear friend and generous supporter of the college John “Shaun” Corette III passed away on Saturday, December 2, in Chevy Chase, Maryland, at the age of 81.
Mr. Corette served on the Carroll College Board of Trustees from 2007-2015, chaired the Investment Committee, and joined the Board Fellows in August 2015. He and his wife Mary Ann were very generous benefactors to the college over the years providing for student scholarships and funding for several significant projects in the library named in honor of his parents Jack and Sallie Corette, among other gifts.
“It was my extreme honor and privilege, and always entertaining, to work closely with Shaun while he served on Carroll’s Board of Trustees,” shared Lori Peterson, ’87, CPA, VP Finance & Administration. “Shaun provided Carroll with a wealth of financial expertise along with sound and forthright counsel. He pushed Carroll to strive for excellence in every area with a sharp eye for detail and common sense. Shaun's greatest passion was for the students of Carroll, often going out of his way to engage in conversations and always ensuring decisions were made in their best interest. Through our conversations, it was apparent Shaun was a master storyteller, possessed an innate sense of humor, and deeply loved his family, Montana, and Carroll College. As an alum, the parent of an alum, and as a longtime employee, I know Carroll is a special place defined by the people and relationships that develop here. Shaun tirelessly served Carroll College, became a one of a kind friend and mentor to me, and because of that he will always hold a place at the top of my list of special ‘Carroll People,’” said Peterson.
