The Elective Courses are divided into three specialized tracks: Financial Planning and Capital Operation, Corporate Accounting and Risk Control, and Financial Management in Educational Companies. Learners select advanced courses from a wide range of options, including Big Data and Intelligent Finance, Internal Control, Tax Planning, Financial Statement and Business Analysis, and MPAcc Case Writing and Analysis, among others. These courses are intended to deepen learners' professional knowledge, enhance their technical skills, and ensure they remain up-to-date with the latest developments in the accounting profession.

The Practice and Integration component is essential for developing practical competencies. Learners must complete a minimum of six months of internship experience, submitting a practical plan and summary report. The program incorporates a specialized labor education module to foster a strong work ethic and enhance employability. Furthermore, students are required to participate in case study and development activities, which may include field research to develop teaching cases, participation in management consulting projects, or engagement in case competitions. These activities are designed to develop learners’ innovative and analytical skills, enabling them to address real-world challenges.

Regarding the Graduation Thesis, learners are expected to choose application-oriented topics pertinent to accounting practice. The thesis must demonstrate rigorous analysis, comply with specific formatting guidelines, and undergo pre-defense evaluations, plagiarism checks, and anonymous expert reviews before the final oral defense.
