Eligibility Requirements

The minimum standards which must be met before a student will be considered for admission into the graduate program are the following:

1. GPA of at least 3.0 calculated on all junior/senior level coursework (courses taken after the student reaches 60 hours).
2. A GPA of at least 3.0 for all accounting courses numbered 3000 and above:
   1. Students without a undergraduate degree in accounting must have, at a minimum, completed the equivalent of ACG 3481, ACG 3482C, ACG4133C, and ACG4352C to be considered for admission. (if admitted, the student will still have to satisfy all unmet preparatory course requirements listed on page 47 prior to earning the M.Acc. degree).
   2. Once a student has earned a "C" grade in any accounting course, repeat attempts for the same course will not be computed in the student’s accounting GPA, if the repeat grade is higher than a "C".
3. A total score (for verbal and quantitative sections) of 550 or more on the GMAT exam (send score to GMAT Program Code: J7Z-5J-13) or 1200 or more on the GRE exam (send score to Institution Code: 5812). NOTE: Effective Fall 2010 all graduate applicants must complete the essays on the GMAT with a minimum score of 4. The GRE will no longer be accepted.
4. Foreign students who are not exempt under university guidelines must complete the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language). The minimum required score depends upon the version of the exam that is completed.

Policies Relating to M.Acc. Program Admissions

The above represent minimum standards for eligibility. Meeting the minimum standards does not guarantee admission to the M.Acc. program. Admission is selective. The student's total record, including past academic performance, will be considered. Special admissions will only be considered where a student has a genuinely outstanding admissions test score or undergraduate record, or has other unique qualifications that are considered to offset a minor deficiency in one of the eligibility standards.

Computing Requirement

This program requires that you have a notebook computer. Students may select a laptop from the vendor of their choice. As you explore different vendors and/or models, please pay careful attention to the Warrington College of Business Administration Computer Requirements.
