Don’t worry, we’ll do this together in just a few easy steps. Our graduate program doesn’t have prerequisites and it’s open to anyone who has a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, regardless of undergraduate major or professional experience. Let’s gets started.
On-campus: Open to students from all backgrounds. A 12-month, full-time program geared toward non-accounting majors. On-campus students start the program in June.
OR
Online: Open to all students regardless of your undergraduate major or coursework. A flexible program completed in 12-36 months, depending on your desired pace. Online students can start the program in January (December OLI), March, June, or September.
Whether you prefer to learn online or on campus, the degree you receive is exactly the same.
We’ve outlined the application requirements below:
Test Scores are not required: A GMAT or GRE test score is not required to apply. You may submit scores voluntarily in support of your application. At the admissions committee’s discretion, additional information, including test scores, may be needed to evaluate your application.
If you do choose to submit test scores, our school codes for the GMAT are D40-HL-00 (online format) and D40-HL-13 (on-campus format). Our school code for the GRE is 0348.
If English is not your native language and you did not complete your undergraduate degree in a native English-speaking country, you’ll also need to take the TOEFL, IELTS or PTE Academic. Our institution code for the TOEFL is 3474.
* We only need your unofficial transcripts for application review. Simply upload them during the application process. If you studied outside of the United States, you must have a college-level education equivalent to an American undergraduate or baccalaureate degree. If the original language of the academic record and diploma is not English, please submit a certified English translation with the original document.
Submit your completed application: All finished? Outstanding. Submit your completed application and pay the application fee.
