Students in the 3/2 or the traditional Master of Accounting program must complete a minimum of 18 graduate accounting hours from the courses listed in the tables below. Though the School does not offer formal tracks, students may tailor a program of study to complete a concentration in taxation, or financial accounting / auditing.
All courses are offered in the 2 credit hour modular format and, with the exception of the required courses, are only offered once a year. Prerequisites are strictly enforced. Therefore, to avoid delays in graduation resulting from missing prerequisites, students are encouraged to meet with the graduate advisor to develop their plan of study.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are modules? Do modular courses follow the University Academic Calendar? How do I drop a module 2 or 4 course before the module begins?May courses other than those listed above count towards the minimum 18 graduate accounting credit hour requirement?
No. Preparatory courses (such as TAX 5005 or ACG 5637), courses such as ACG 6905 (Independent study), ACG 6940 (Supervised Teaching), graduate accounting service courses (such as ACG 5005, ACG 5065, or ACG 5075), or courses offered by other academic units are not substitutes for the graduate accounting courses listed in the tables above.
I plan to complete an internship. Will the internship delay my graduation?
It depends. For those students who are on track (completed TAX 5005 and ACG 5637 during the Fall semester of their senior year), an internship during the Spring or Summer semester of their senior year will not delay graduation. This is because the required graduate accounting courses are offered both Spring and Summer to help accommodate an internship. However, students who are off track (completed TAX 5005 and ACG 5637 during the Spring semester of their senior year), must remain on campus in the Summer to get back on track. If these students complete a Summer internship, they will miss the required graduate accounting courses listed in the table above. The required graduate accounting courses are prerequisites for most graduate accounting courses taken during the fifth year. Students in this situation must decide between a Summer internship or delayed graduation. Students facing this decision are strongly encouraged to seek academic counseling.
May graduate students in other degree programs enroll in graduate accounting modules listed above?
Courses such as ACG 6888 and ACG 6387 are open to all UF graduate students on a space available basis. Graduate students who meet all admission requirements to the Master of Accounting program and who have completed all required prerequisites or their equivalent may submit a petition to enroll in other graduate accounting courses. Students with approved petitions will be added to the course on a space available basis.
