MAcc Program FAQ

• Do applicants need recommendations? Three letters of recommendation are required for all applicants. At least two of these letters must be from professors of upper-level accountancy courses. The third may be either an academic or a professional reference. Click here to download a recommendation form.
• When are applications due? For the 2010-11 academic year, the deadline for international applicants is Nov. 1, 2009; for domestic applicants interested in being considered for graduate assistantships, the deadline is Jan. 1, 2010; for domestic students interested in "regular" admission, the deadline is Feb. 1, 2010. Admission is selective so we recommend that you apply early. Applications received after these deadlines will be considered for admission only if space is available.
• When are admission decisions made? Complete applications will be reviewed as they are received. Outstanding applicants will be offered admission on a "rolling" basis. All other admission decisions will be made after February 1, when the applicant pool is identified. Recipients of financial awards will be notified separately.
• Where should I submit my MAcc application? Online at http://www.miami.muohio.edu/graduate/admission.cfm. Letters of recommendation, resume, and personal statement may be sent directly to Gretchen Radler, 3088A Farmer School of Business, Miami University, Oxford, OH 45056 or radlergb@muohio.edu.
• Can students take graduate courses in their undergraduate program and use them towards the MAcc? No. Graduate courses are restricted to students enrolled in the MAcc program.
• When should students take the GMAT? We recommend you take the GMAT the summer before your senior year, as that is likely when you will have the most time to prepare for it. Current MAcc students report that they did not feel disadvantaged in taking it at that time. Alternatively, you may take it during the December semester break of your senior year. You should register for it several weeks in advance to ensure you can take the exam at a time that is convenient for you and will also allow time for your scores to arrive at our office. Keep in mind that to be considered for our fellowship or graduate assistantships, your complete application must be received by January 1.
• Can a student apply to the program before taking the GMAT? Applications will not be reviewed until we receive the test score, but students may apply before taking the exam. We encourage students to apply early as it will assist us in our planning.
