MSA Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s Degree (MSA ABM)

Exceptional undergraduate students in the URI Accounting Bachelor of Science program (ACC) are eligible to apply for the Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s MSA program (MSA ABM) as a path to earn the MSA degree.

Students admitted into the MSA ABM program will have the opportunity for time and cost savings due to the option to apply three (required) undergraduate ACC courses as electives toward the MSA ABM. These ACC course credits will count towards that student’s undergraduate ACC degree as well as the MSA degree (i.e., dual count).

Three of the following four ACC courses may be applied to the MSA ABM program:

  • ACC401 Accounting Computer Systems
  • ACC402 Advanced Accounting
  • ACC403 Federal Tax Accounting
  • ACC404 Auditing

Prerequisite Courses & Grade Requirements:
Prior to admittance to the MSA ABM program, ACC students must earn a B (or better) in ACC 301, 302 and 303.

Applicant and Admission Requirements:
Applicants must have completed at least 75 undergraduate course credits.

A cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher is required.

Please note, the qualifications listed above are minimum qualifications and do not guarantee admission to the MSA ABM program.

Prospective students who meet the minimum qualifications are required to apply through the URI Graduate School admissions process. The GRE/GMAT exam and letters of recommendation requirements will be waived.
