Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
- Admission in good standing in the College of Business with a declared major in accountancy.
- A grade point average of at least 3.0 (A=4.0) for all undergraduate course work and for all undergraduate accountancy course work (including both required and elective courses). The grade point averages will include both grades of any repeated courses. Students should take business courses for a grade. When calculating grade point averages, the Department will treat business courses with a grade of CR as a C- and those with a grade of NC as an F. Business courses include those with accountancy, business administration, finance, and economics rubrics.
- 3.0 grade point averages do not guarantee admission since admission may be more competitive depending on the number of applications received.
- Names and addresses of two academic references. Letters of recommendation are not required.
- A course plan must be completed with an Accountancy Academic Advisor.
