3/2 Program
Applications for 3/2 MAcc program are being accepted for Spring 2007. If you
are 1) currently in your second semester in the Shidler College of Business, 2) have
taken at least two upper-division accounting courses, and 3) have a 3.4 overall
or 3.4 accounting GPA, you are eligible. This program provides the following
opportunities:
- It does not require a GMAT score for admission to the MAcc and advance admission takes place after your second semester in the College of Business (as long as you have taken two upper-division accounting courses). A minimum GPA of 3.4 (accounting OR overall) is required for admission.
(Those whose GPA is less than 3.4 but more than 3.0 will be considered for 3/2 program if they obtain a GMAT score of at least 550.)
- It allows you to take up to 6 credits toward your MAcc while
you are classified as an undergraduate (and therefore pay
undergraduate tuition for these courses).
- It creates a more efficient way for you to complete your MAcc
degree and meet the 150 hour CPA licensing requirement.
- It will allow you to obtain up to three graduate credit hours
while working as an intern (this is in addition to the three
credits of internship you can take as an undergraduate).
- Students who are accepted into the 3/2 program may choose not to complete the MAcc degree requirements. In this event, they will receive their BBA degree upon meeting the undergraduate degree requirements.
- Since all graduate classes are offered at night, you will be
able to accept accounting jobs while you are finishing you
Masters of Accounting program and obtaining your 150 credit-hour
requirement for the CPA credential.
The extended application deadline for the 3/2 MAcc is November
15, 2006.
- You will need to complete the application for the Graduate Division
and Statement of Objectives to be considered for this program.
