Previous academic performance, written statement of personal goals and GMAT score are significant factors considered by the M.S.A. director in the admission process. Generally, as a minimum, the applicant must have an overall undergraduate GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) and a GMAT score of 500 or above or a GRE Score of 306 or higher.
Program Requirements:
Program Design
Upon admission to the M.S.A. program, each student must prepare a program of study. The program is reviewed with the student by the M.S.A. advisor to ascertain that it is appropriate given the student’s background and career goals. The program of study becomes the student’s degree requirement when signed by the student and the M.S.A. advisor. Subsequent changes in course work must be approved by an M.S.A. faculty advisor.
Notes:
Students having equivalent courses may be required to substitute other courses in the areas of accounting, finance, information systems, management and marketing, as determined by the M.S.A. director/advisor.
* Students planning to take the CPA examination must elect ACC 546 and satisfy the state’s general business requirement.
