Include information about your career aspirations, personal background, and why you are interested in the field of accounting. You can also use a portion of this essay to provide additional information that will provide context for the rest of your application.

Applicants are required to obtain two letters of recommendation that demonstrate their unique abilities and experiences pertinent to the graduate program. The Admissions Committee would like to see details about your relevant abilities and experiences, especially related to the field of study. Choose recommenders who can effectively assess the quality of your work. If you possess full-time professional work experience, it’s preferable to include at least one recommendation letter from a professional. Additionally, we welcome letters of recommendation from faculty, academic advisors, volunteer supervisors, and internship supervisors. We do not accept letters of recommendation from family or friends. We may verify your recommenders by phone. Falsified application materials will disqualify your application to the program.

Submit a current, chronological resume. Only include professional work experience. The Equal Opportunity Employment Commission defines professional jobs as those that usually require a college degree. You may include internship experience if it is related to your graduate program of study.
