Accounting Undergraduate degree

Minnesota State University, Mankato graduate:

Accounting undergraduate students can apply for admission to the MAcc after the completion of five upper-division (300/400 level) accounting courses but cannot take MAcc courses until their degree is conferred. The only exception is students who are within 6 credits of their undergraduate degree. In this situation, the student could begin MAcc classes in their final undergraduate semester.

A Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) score of 500 or above is also generally required (Contact MAcc director before taking GMAT). Test scores must be sent directly to the College of Graduate Studies and Research from GMAC. This requirement will be waived for applicants meeting one of the following criteria:

• Applicant is pursuing an accounting undergraduate degree from Minnesota State University, Mankato with a 3.0 cumulative GPA after the completion of at least 5 upper-level accounting courses

Non Minnesota State University, Mankato graduates:

Non Minnesota State University, Mankato accounting graduates can apply in their final semester or after their degree is conferred.

A Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) score of 500 or above is also generally required (Contact MAcc director before taking GMAT).
