Admissions Criteria

Am I a fit for the program?

• We look for outgoing, personable students who are willing to commit to a career in the profession of public accounting.
  
  
• Students from any educational background are welcome and encouraged to apply.
  
  
• Entering students need to have demonstrated strong academic performance in prior university studies.
  
  
• Students must have completed introductory courses in financial accounting, managerial accounting, statistics and microeconomics from an accredited school, with a grade of B or better. However, many students are admitted to the program before these requirements are met.
  
  
• Any additional prerequisites will be determined on an individual basis, as some students may need to develop core competencies prior to the start of the program.
