Although there is not a formal admission deadline date, applications should be completed no later than May 1 of the year in which the student wishes to start the program in order to have the best chances at admission and funding.

Each application is evaluated by the MAcc Committee, composed of AMIS faculty members, to determine whether the student should be admitted to the MAcc program and whether funding should be awarded.  The Committee considers the student’s overall undergraduate GPA, the GPA computed from only accounting courses, GMAT score, prior work experience, recommendations, and, for international students, TOEFL score.
