To pursue this pathway, applicants must first complete 6 credits (equivalent to 2 classes) of pre-requisite coursework. Pathway 3 applicants should not apply to the MAcc program until mid-term or final grades are available for the required pre-requisites.

At the University of Utah, the pre-requisite classes are ACCTG 5050 (Fundamentals of Accounting) and FINAN 5050 (Financial Management). Both classes are offered online. To take these classes at the University of Utah, applicants must first apply to the university as non-degree seeking students. Applicants have the option to fulfill these pre-requisite courses at other institutions. A minimum grade of a B is necessary for these courses to meet the eligibility criteria for applying to the MAcc program.

*Please connect with LaShelle Mann (LaShelle.Mann@Eccles.Utah.edu), Program Manager and Academic Advisor for the Master of Accounting program to confirm course equivalency if you are planning to take the pre-requisite courses at an institution other than the University of Utah. Be prepared to provide course syllabi.

If admitted, students will then need to take 9 credit hours (equivalent to 3 classes) of co-requisite coursework, resulting in a total program requirement of 39 credit hours.
