*NOTE: Priority in admissions decisions will be given to applicants who have completed program prerequisites by the application deadline.
As stated in
the undergraduate catalog, ADMISSION MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE AVAILABILITY OF INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES.
Applications to the MPA program (integrated approach) are accepted for fall semesters only. Applications will be available online by April 1, and the application deadline is June 1. Students do not need to wait until spring grades are available to apply because these grades will be verified during the summer. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by mail during the summer.
Students should pre-register as usual in the spring for a full load of fall semester classes. Once admitted into the integrated MPA, students will be instructed as to which specific accounting courses should be added during the regular add/drop period.
