Accountancy -- Admission Criteria & Guidelines

Students from undergraduate accounting programs registered as CPA preparation programs will typically have no prerequisite foundation coursework. Other students will be required to complete coursework in accounting, business law, finance, statistics, economics, general business, and liberal arts as appropriate to prepare for the MS degree course requirements.

Admitted students lacking these proficiencies should consult with a graduate advisor to determine appropriate course selection. Prerequisite skills may be fulfilled in a variety of ways including transfer courses, courses at SUNYIT, and College-Level Entrance Program (CLEP) or Regents College Degree (RCD) examinations with appropriate knowledge, but no other documentation.

Guidelines

Scores from the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) will follow the AACSB International recommended guidelines as a minimum admission criterion:

A total of 1,000 points based on 200 x upper division GPA + GMAT score.
