Application Requirements
Admission to the Master’s in Accounting program is competitive. Meeting the minimum standards and prerequisites indicated does not guarantee admission. Although the following minimum standards must normally be met, the applicant’s overall record is considered when making admission decisions.
Applying to the M.S. Accounting Program
The application is strictly online, and we will not accept any documents sent to the department. Any documents received will not be considered as part of your application.
After you have been admitted to the program, you will be required to submit official college transcripts, financial proof, GMAT and TOEFL scores. Instructions will be included in your admission letter. Please do not send us any official transcripts or documents until you receive an acceptance offer.
Application Deadlines
Students may start the program in any semester – fall (August), spring (January), or summer (May) – as space permits. Summer admission is advisable for students who need to complete certain prerequisite courses. We have rolling admissions for each semester, please contact the msacct@broad.msu.edu to find out if you can still apply.
Applications must be received by the following deadlines:
- January 15: For those applying to start in the summer and fall semesters, and all those who want to be considered for scholarships.
- March 1: A second round of application review will occur after this date if space remains for summer and fall semesters.
