Additional requirements that are unique to this Double Dawgs program:
In order to enter into this pathway and to then get access to the 7000-level Accounting Courses, students must not have received any grades in 5000-level Accounting courses below a 'B-' or have received more than one 'W' in those courses.
Students pursuing this pathway are expected to complete their MAcc degree, and the course plan will not be sufficient to attain a BBA degree alone. Opting out of the MAcc in the final year could delay graduation by not providing ample time to adjust their course of study and achieve all BBA requirements. Students should speak to their advisor for more details.
Admission to Graduate Program
Students must apply via the UGA Graduate School in order to be considered for admission to the MAcc program. Final decisions will be issued by letter from the UGA Graduate School. Students in this pathway that have no grades below a 'B-' and no more than one 'W' in all 5000-level and 7000-level ACCT-prefix courses at the time of applying will be granted automatic acceptance into the MAcc program. Students who do not meet these automatic admissions requirements are still encouraged to apply to the program and their applications will be considered in the regular applicant pool.
