Application deadlines are:

  • International applicants: November 15

  • TOEFL/IELTS score (international students)
  • Professional, community, and extracurricular activities (resume)
  • Personal statement
    • This is a marketing tool for you; take this opportunity to tell us who you are, what's important to you, and other information that you believe makes you unique. You may choose to expand on items on your resume (e.g. educational and professional experiences) or highlight other achievements or goals. Your personal statement should show us how you will be a valuable addition to the Miami MAcc program.
  • Three letters of recommendation
    • At least two must be from professors of upper-level accountancy courses
