Before enrolling in any graduate accounting course, you must do one of the following:

• Complete 15 credits of undergraduate accounting coursework, with a grade of C or better in each course. Upon submission of an official transcript, you may be accepted into the degree program with fewer than the required 15 credits of undergraduate accounting coursework, but you must complete that coursework before enrolling in your first graduate accounting course.
• Earn a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license as determined by a State Board of Accountancy. Upon submission of documentation and verification of your having earned a CPA license, you may enroll in a graduate accounting course.

You are expected to have familiarity with Microsoft Excel.

If you do not have a recent background in accounting, you should take UCSP 620 before ACCT 610. We recommend you take UCSP 605 to improve your graduate writing skills.
