MACCT Admissions

UNM's Masters of Accounting program offers the Professional Concentration to students with an undergraduate degree in any field. Students with an undergraduate accounting degree may pursue a concentration in Tax or an Advanced concentration. In addition, applicants must sit for the Graduate Management Admission Test. A GMAT/GRE score of 500 or above is required. Depending on certain circumstances, the GMAT/GRE may be waived (see below).

Students may take up to six (6) credit hours in non-degree status at the Anderson Schools of Management before being admitted into the program. Credit from classes taken as non-degree will count towards the Masters degree upon admission into the program.
