The Master of Science in Accounting is designed for students who have completed an undergraduate degree in accounting in the United States. However, other students can be admitted to the program once deficiency courses have been taken. Those holding a bachelor's degree from within the U.S., but not in accounting, and international applicants can still apply for admission once the deficiency courses have been successfully completed.  We do not provisionally or conditionally admit students to our program.

Note: These are the minimum requirements and do not guarantee admission or funding.

To apply to the Master of Science in Accounting Program complete BOTH the M.S. Accounting Application (M.S. Accounting Application) AND the University Graduate Admissions Application (UW Graduate Admissions Application).
