Admission Requirements

The Master of Science Degree Program in Accounting accepts students with a variety of undergraduate backgrounds. Admission to the program is competitive. In considering individual applications, the MS in Accounting program committee considers prior academic work, professional experience, GMAT scores*, and the potential for success indicated by three letters of reference. International applicants must provide original TOEFL (or equivalent) score. Weaker performance in one area may be offset by particularly strong performance in another area. Students entering our program last Fall had an average GMAT of 600 and a median GPA of 3.37. GMAT information can be obtained online or from the address below:
