Application Requirements
OHIO's College of Business takes a holistic approach to considering a candidate鈥檚 application package, which means we'll consider all parts of your application so you have an opportunity to highlight your strengths.
To be admitted to 91探花's Full-Time MAcc program, you must generally meet the following requirements:
- Regionally accredited bachelor鈥檚 degree in accounting or business (non-accounting, business majors will need to complete four additional pre-requisite courses)
- GPA of 3.0 or higher
- Two letters of recommendation (details following)
- Current resume
- Official/certified transcripts (sealed) from all institutions of higher education
- Professional statement
- GMAT/GRE is not required
- TOEFL or IELTS required if English is not your first language
Letters of Recommendation
Letters of recommendation are submitted digitally through the application portal. You will need to enter each individual's name and professional email address. Recommenders will receive an email with a unique link to upload their letter to your application.
Letters of recommendation should mention your academic ability, career potential, how you work in a team, your preparedness for graduate level work, and include anything else the recommender wants to share about you.
Letters older than 90 days from your application date or from friends/family/peers will not be accepted; you will be required to submit replacement letters for your application to be considered for admission.
Concerning Funding Opportunities
The Full-Time MAcc awards a very limited number of Graduate Assistantships (funding offers) to students each year. This means that not all admitted students will be offered a Graduate Assistantship award. If you are offered a GA, it will include a 25% tuition waiver and a $4,000 stipend for the year. Both the tuition waiver and stipend only apply to your fall and spring semester courses. You will not receive funding for the summer courses (note that you only enroll in two courses over the summer that are completely online). Ultimately, if you are not prepared to pay at least 70-80% of the program tuition and fees, please contact us before submitting your application. We want to help you find a program that works for your specific circumstances.
Application Deadlines
Full-Time MAcc cohorts start in May (summer semester). 91探花 to this program is selective, with a limited number of seats available for qualified candidates. We seat each cohort through two rounds of admission with dates listed below. 91探花 decisions are made after each round of admission, meaning that fewer seats are available in the second round. Apply in the earliest round for maximum consideration for the May cohort and to be considered for funding opportunities. After you apply, you may be invited to interview for a spot in the program.
International Student Application Deadlines
International applications require additional time to process. Please submit your complete application and transcripts by December 1 of the year proceeding your starting semester to be considered for the program.
Note that the only start term we offer is summer semester and that you must start the program by taking two courses online during your first semester. You must take these courses online; no in person sections will be offered. If you are admitted into the program, your immigration documents will state that you will be an online student for the summer semester, then in person for classes starting in the fall semester and continuing into the spring semester only.
Applications will open September 16, 2024.
