Prerequisites

In addition to completing the 10 classes for a particular accounting track, each student must complete specific core business classes. Please note the following exceptions:

• The college automatically waives the prerequisites for students coming into the program with an undergraduate degree from an AACSB accredited business school.

• The student may complete a Core Waiver Request Form and have the advisor approve the waiver of particular courses.

The following core business courses must be completed. A student does not have to complete all core courses prior to attempting their major courses. A student may work on completing these throughout their program. Please note that because the graduate core classes are often full, a student may, with the permission of their advisor, substitute an undergraduate equivalent course.
