MBA with Accounting Specialization
Admission Requirements
Before applying, please carefully read the minimum requirements and then select the MBA Accounting Track that fits you best.
- A 4-year bachelor’s degree or master’s degree from an accredited college, university, or institute is required. For the Accounting MBA Professionals Track, the degree must be in accounting.
- Students with a 3-year bachelor’s in business/commerce may be considered for admission. You may be required to take additional credits to graduate.
- You must have earned a minimum cumulative overall GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or second division rank. A slightly lower GPA may be considered if you have a strong work history and/or Chartered Accounting or CPA certifications. Applicants with a GPA under 3.0 may be required to take the Graduate Management Aptitude Test (GMAT).
English Proficiency
All applicants who are not native speakers of English must submit official test scores (either TOEFL or IELTS) from the previous two years. Scores on the Compass ESL placement test are acceptable as well.
Students with scores below 6.5 on IELTS, 575 TOEFL paper-based, 232 TOEFL computer-based and 90 TOEFL internet-based will take Intensive English classes before enrolling in degree program classes. Find out more about the TOEFL.
GMAT
If your GPA is 3.0 or higher, you are not required to take the GMAT. However, we encourage applicants from non-USA countries to take this test, because it may help in obtaining an F-1 visa from the U.S. embassy. Information on the GMAT is available at www.mba.com.
The Transcendental Meditation Technique
All of our students learn the Transcendental Meditation technique before or shortly after arriving on campus. Hundreds of scientific studies indicate that the benefits from regular practice of this technique increases the development of creativity and intelligence which leads to greater success. The Transcendental Meditation technique and the Science of Creative Intelligence are foundational to all educational programs at our University. Students participating in the MBA Accounting program should feel comfortable with this aspect of their education.
