Admissions and Requirements

Accelerated Program

(BBA/MAcc, BBA/MTax)

Baylor undergraduates interested in pursuing a graduate accounting degree at Baylor (MAcc or MTax) should determine their eligibility for the program after completing their second semester of undergraduate accounting major courses. Eligibility for pre-admission is not guaranteed but is based on overall GPA as well as a GPA of 2.75 or higher in the first 4 accounting courses (Financial Accounting & Reporting I and II, Accounting Information Systems, and Federal Income Taxation). The GMAT is not required for applicants who majored in accounting at Baylor.

Note: Baylor undergraduate students should plan ahead if you are interested in pursuing a joint graduate degree program. Contact Lauren Farish at Lauren_Farish@baylor.edu for more information about the BBA/MAcc or BBA/MTax programs.

Students will be notified by the Graduate Program Director when the pre-admission application link is available. Deadlines for the pre-admission application are as follows:

  • Those wishing to begin graduate courses in Summer and Fall: Feb. 15

  • Those wishing to begin graduate courses in Spring: Aug. 15

Final admittance to the graduate program is dependent upon successful completion of undergraduate accounting courses. Note that students will be advised as to the timing of their graduate school application based on their unique plan for graduation.

General Degrees

(MAcc, MTax)

Applicants with GPAs above 3.0 overall and in accounting, plus an acceptable GMAT score will be considered for admission. The GMAT is not required for applicants who majored in accounting at Baylor. The GMAT is required for all other applicants.

If you do not have an undergraduate degree in accounting, you must complete the following prerequisite accounting courses before you are eligible to enter a graduate accounting program:

  • One course (3 hours) in Introductory Financial Accounting
  • Introductory Managerial Accounting
  • Income Taxation
  • Cost Accounting
  • Accounting Information Systems
  • Auditing
  • Two courses (6 hours) in Intermediate Financial Accounting

Financial accounting courses should emphasize accounting standards accepted in the United States.

To receive full consideration for scholarship opportunities, applications should be submitted by specific application dates (only for outside candidates), depending upon the term of entry desired.
