Eligibility

You must:
  • Be declared as an undergraduate accounting major
  • Have earned at least 90 undergraduate credits

    • ACTG 3120: Intermediate Financial Accounting II (3 credit hours) 
    • ACTG 3400: Taxation of Individuals (3 credit hours)

Students will be eligible to apply for conditional acceptance into the Accounting Accelerated Graduate Degree Pathway (Accelerated Pathway) if they meet the requirements above. Credits completed before conditional acceptance into the Accelerated Pathway program cannot be applied to the Master of Accounting (MAcc) program.

A total of 120 credit hours is required for graduation in the bachelor’s degree portion of the program. You are not required to maintain full-time enrollment at any point during the bachelor's or master's portions of the Accelerated Pathway. Acceptance into the Accelerated Pathway does not require you to continue and pursue a master’s degree should you change your mind.

In the last semester of the undergraduate program, you should complete the MAcc Graduate Advancement Review if you were accepted into the Accelerated Pathway.
