Accounting Transitions Program
The transitions program was developed to provide professionals with non-accounting or non-business degrees with the prerequisites needed to gain entry into the Master of Science in Accounting program at the Isenberg School of Management. The accounting department at Isenberg holds separate accreditation from the AACSB.
Transitions Admissions
Admission to the accounting transitions program is limited to applicants who have an undergraduate degree and did not major in accounting. Due to the accelerated nature of this program, we are looking for candidates who excelled in their prior coursework and graduated with high cumulative GPAs.
Application Requirements:
- Transcripts from all universities attended - Unofficial transcripts are sufficient for the accounting transitions program. However, official transcripts will be required when applying for the MS Accounting program.
- Resume
- Personal Essay - The essay should explain why you are interested in transitioning to accounting and what your goals are after completing the program.
Applications are due by April 1st for a fall start, and November 1st for a spring start.
Students requiring an F1 visa are unable to apply for the transitions program.
Admission to the Master of Science in Accounting Program
Applicants who complete the transitions program with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better will be exempt from taking the GMAT and will gain entry into Isenberg’s Master of Science in Accounting program. A separate application will need to be completed to apply for the MSA program. Working with your academic advisor, you will decide when to submit the application for the MSA program.
