You must list on your online application each institution of higher learning from which you have earned credit. You must also submit unofficial transcripts or academic records for each of these institutions. This includes partial or incomplete transcripts.

Unofficial Transcripts

Transcripts or academic records must be uploaded directly to the ApplyYourself online application. International students should also upload an English translation if the transcript is not in English. Please do not send paper or fax copies of this material to the MAcc program office because it will cause delays in your application processing. All transcripts and academic records uploaded to the online application are considered unofficial. You will only be asked to submit official transcripts or academic records if you are admitted.

Visit Uploading your Transcript for detailed instructions.

 

If you have been previously enrolled at the University of Minnesota (any campus), you can get electronic copies of your transcripts from One Stop student services.

Official Transcripts

All transcripts and academic records uploaded to the online application are considered unofficial. You will only be asked to submit official transcripts or academic records if you are admitted. These must be submitted before you register and enroll at the University of Minnesota. If you have attended universities that issue official transcripts on request, you must have these materials sent to the Graduate School Admissions Office directly from the institution. An official, certified (signature and seal) English translation should be attached if the transcript is not in English.

The University of Minnesota reserves the right to require the submission of official transcripts or credentials any time during the admission review process.

The Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) is generally required when applying to the MAcc program. Students who have been admitted to and complete their undergraduate degree at the Carlson School are not required to submit a GMAT score with their application.

Please request that your GMAT results be sent to the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, Master of Accountancy program at the Carlson School of Management. Results will automatically be made available to the MAcc program 10-15 days from your request. We cannot accept your copy of the GMAT score.

For details on how to make an appointment to take the GMAT or to request submission of your GMAT scores to the MAcc office, visit the GMAT. The University of Minnesota's College of Continuing Education (CCE) offers GMAT preparation courses through classroom-based instruction or self-directed online instruction. For more information, call (612) 624-4000 or visit U of M Grad School Test Prep.

The GMAT must have been taken within five years of the application. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is not an acceptable alternative to the GMAT.

Three letters of recommendation are required from persons qualified to evaluate your most recent work and potential for graduate study. Letters of recommendation should be submitted online by your recommenders. Follow the instructions on the

U of M Graduate School Application Information page. We no longer accept recommendation letters mailed or faxed to our office.

A TOEFL, MELAB, or IELTS test is required of most international applicants whose native language is not English. For more information, see English language requirements.

If you are not a Twin Cities resident, a telephone interview is acceptable. If you are an international student residing outside of this country, an interview will be completed via email.
