Learn about the admissions criteria you need to meet before applying, what information you will need to submit a successful application, and how you will be notified of the final decision. Once you apply, you may have an interview with members of the admissions committee.

 

Admissions Criteria

Applicants are expected to meet the following criteria:

• Official academic transcripts showing the completion of a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution with minimum of 3.0 GPA overall, or last 60 credits with 3.0 GPA.
• Meet prerequisite course requirements (see below)* 
• Submission of a current resume and 2 letters of recommendation (professional and educational, preferred)
• Completion of a short essay (500 words maximum – prompt found in application)

 

Additional requirements for International Students

•  Transcript evaluation: International transcripts must be evaluated by an approved foreign credential evaluating company.  https://www.uvu.edu/transfer/
• Copy of current passport for applicant and any dependents
• Financial support documents which include the following:
  1. Bank statement with liquid funds in the amount of full tuition
  2. Affidavit of Support
• English Language Proficiency Exam Score: TOEFL of at least 80 or IELTS score of at least 6.5

The MAcc program utilizes a rolling admission process. Rolling admission means the students will be notified of a decision within a few weeks of completing and submitting the entire application. This process also means that admission is granted to those that apply first, assuming qualifications are met.

 

International Students

ALL international students who do NOT have an undergraduate or graduate degree from an accredited U.S. institution MUST take all program prerequisite classes. International students should contact staff BEFORE they apply. They will provide information about prerequisites and whether this program is a good fit for you. You can contact us by emailing [email protected]. Doing this will save you time and money as there are no refunds for application fees.
