*At least two elective graduate courses must be in accounting (ACCT) or tax (TAX).
Students with limited background in accounting: |
| Students with limited background
in accounting will require a total of 60 credits to complete the
program and are required to take ACCT
620 and ACCT
621 as electives. These courses are prerequisites to the program
requirements ACCT 622, ACCT 623, and ACCT 601.
Note: ACCT 620 is only offered in the Fall term
and ACCT 621 is only offered in the Winter term.
Therefore, it is imperative that these prerequisite courses be taken
during the first Fall and Winter term after entering the program.
Students should be aware that cycling of these courses makes for
difficulty in scheduling for full-time students entering in the
Winter or Spring terms, since two of the three terms will pass before
a fundamental prerequisite course is offered.

| Students intending to maintain
accounting skills/ improve accounting education: |
| Students with undergraduate degrees
in Accounting from AACBS accredited schools are not required to
take all the ACCT 601, ACCT 620, or ACCT 621, but may begin the
required accounting courses in the M.S. Accounting program immediately.
Students who fulfill the waiver requirements may obtain credit from
ACCT 601 as an elective toward the degree.
In addition, if the requirements for waiving 601-level graduate
courses are met, students may be able to waive either FIN 601 or
STAT 601. Consequently, for a student with an undergraduate degree
in Accounting from an AACSB school, waiver of BUSN 501 and BUSN
502 would reduce the total number of credits to 54; a waiver of
ACCT 602 would reduce the total credits to 51; a waiver of FIN 601
or STAT 601 would reduce the total number of credits to 48.
Students should contact the Accounting
and Tax Department for additional information.
