Individuals at UND currently completing their junior year (90 credits) towards an accounting undergraduate degree may apply to the MAcc under combined admission. Combined admission to the MAcc program may be granted to accounting students with a minimum of 90 credits completed and both an overall grade point average of 3.25 (based on a 4.00 scale) and 3.25 GPA average for all courses taken with an accounting prefix completed to the date of application and admission. The GMAT score requirements for combined students are the same as that required for other MAcc students.

Combined admission allows students to more effectively manage their course load. By taking a combination of undergraduate and graduate courses, the student can effectively take a larger course load than by taking only graduate courses. Under combined admission, the applicant will be exempted from Acct 450, Contemporary Issues in Accounting in his/her undergraduate program. The MAcc program under combined admission will require a minimum of two years of study.

Individuals being admitted to the MAcc under combined admission are considered graduate students, and are eligible for privileges accorded graduate students. Individuals entering the MAcc under combined admission also receive their undergraduate and graduate degrees in the semester when they complete the requirements of both degrees.
