Additional Admission Information/Requirements
UNI undergraduate students should apply for admission to the MAcc program immediately following the semester in which they take Intermediate Financial Accounting II. If accepted into the MAcc program, students will be enrolled in an integrated program where they take both graduate and undergraduate courses. They will receive both the bachelor of arts (BA) and MAcc degrees upon completion of the respective programs of study.
Students should contact UNI’s Financial Aid Office to confirm their financial aid eligibility when they are accepted to the MAcc program since the transition to graduate status can affect their financial aid eligibility.
