Core Courses

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.
