Master of Science in Accounting

Admission is open to all qualified applicants, regardless of undergraduate major. In making admissions decisions, the College of Business Admissions Committee applies a partially compensatory decision process, in which exceptional strength in terms of GPA, work experience or optional GMAT scores can offset minor deficiencies in another area.

The following criteria are required for admissions consideration, for both full and part-time applicants:

• Bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited college or university or a foreign equivalent. For the MBA program, this degree can be in any subject. However, applicants applying to the MBA in Accounting or MS in Accounting programs have specific undergraduate course requirements and should submit this form for review.
• A minimum 3.0 grade point average in prior academic work. In exceptional cases, a GPA below 3.0 will be considered for "conditional admission" to the College of Business. Conditionally admitted students must achieve a 3.0 GPA in their first semester to continue in the program.
• Three credits of calculus. Applicants must submit proof of satisfactory completion (grade of "C" or better) of a 3-credit calculus course. An applicant may request a waiver based on undergraduate major, business experience, and career aspirations.
