Prerequisites
The Faculty of Accounting requires each new graduate student to satisfy the following MAcc pre-enrollment requirements:
- Proficiency in Mathematics: Students should complete a calculus-based course at the college
level prior to enrollment in the MAcc program.
- Spreadsheet Proficiency: Students should be knowledgeable of computer spreadsheet software,
such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Excel prior to enrollment in the MAcc program.
- Proficiency in English: If an international student's verbal score on the GMAT, TOEFL, or
other evaluation measure is below an acceptable level, a student may be required to enroll in English language
development classes either prior to enrollment in the MAcc program or during the first semester of his/her academic
program.
Specific Prerequisites
A bachelor degree in business or accounting is not
required for admission. Students without an undergraduate
degree in accounting or business normally earn the MAcc
degree by completing a designated set of six core business
courses and eight core accounting courses (including Law)
plus the requirements for one of the accounting tracks and
the requirements for a graduate business administration
minor. Many students with undergraduate degrees in
accounting or business from accredited institutions waive
most of the core business and core accounting courses.
Students who waive the entire set of core courses must
complete a minimum of thirty graduate credit hours to earn
the MAcc degree.
