Other requirements

General requirements

Admission to the Master of Accounting program is highly competitive. The GMAT (preferred) or the GRE are a requirement for admission to the MAcc program and to Florida State University. The entrance exam is a university requirement that may be waived if an applicant meets certain criteria. The College of Business generally recommends a GMAT minimum of 550 or a GRE minimum of 1200 (150 on each subsection of the revised GRE), taken within the last five years.
Applicants also must have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 in the upper division coursework. Given the limited class size, it is likely that most who are admitted to the program will have credentials considerably above the specified minimums.
