* Students in the on-campus format who have secured an approved pre-MAC summer internship, and who have received a B or better in an Introduction to Finance course at an AACSB-accredited institution, may start the program after their summer internship concludes. These students do not participate in the Structured Recruiting process and will join the MAC program in mid-August.
** Online-format students with accounting-heavy backgrounds or those who have completed an MBA from an AACSB-accredited institution may be eligible for course transfers or substitutions based on a review of previous courses completed during their prior studies.
