A PROGRAM FOR FUTURE ACCOUNTANTS

This program will prepare you for an in-demand career as a highly trained accountant, with job opportunities in financial institutions, the government, nonprofits or public practice. Plus, you’ll save on your accounting master’s degree thanks to NSU’s alumni discount.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW

ELIGIBILITY
To be considered for dual admission and fill your reserved seat in graduate or professional school, there are some requirements you must meet. Undergraduate Admission Requirements are for first-time in college students applying to earn a bachelor’s degree. Graduate Admission Requirements are the standards students need to maintain, while earning their undergraduate degree, to remain eligible for the graduate or professional program.
Undergraduate Admission Requirements
Graduate Admission Requirements
Keep your dual admission status while you earn your bachelor’s.
Dual Admission reserves your seat in NSU’s Master of Accounting program, but you must still complete a graduate application once you finish your bachelor’s degree.
Keep in mind that these are the basic requirements, and final determination of admission into the professional program is at the discretion of the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business & Entrepreneurship.
Degree Required
You must complete a bachelor’s degree in any major you choose. Additional prerequisites may be communicated upon admission.
Undergraduate GPA
You must maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA.
Additional Requirements
College credits that were earned through advanced high school programs such as AP, IB or college academy—or in summer coursework following high school graduation, prior to attending NSU—may transfer to NSU.
Students who enter NSU with earned college credits through advanced high school programs may be able to complete their degree and program requirements earlier than scheduled and request to enter their graduate professional programs earlier as well.
Please contact your admissions representative for more details regarding high school transfer credits.
