Concurrent Enrollment

Concurrent enrollment allows DOUBLE COUNTING of up to three hours of college credit that can be applied to both your graduate and undergraduate degree programs.

For this program, you must meet the requirements for the MAcc at ISU, apply to the program, and be accepted into the program.  This will allow concurrent enrollment in both the graduate and undergraduate programs.

To participate in the concurrent enrollment program, you should:

Apply for the MAcc and be accepted into the program during your senior year.  The application materials are available in the Graduate Programs Office, 1360 Gerdin Business Building.

Part of the application requires a GMAT test score if your GPA is under 3.25.  You can get information about the GMAT from the same sources noted above for application materials.

To use the concurrent enrollment option, you should have three hours of elective credit open in your undergraduate degree program.

Upon acceptance into the MAcc, you may enroll in three hours of graduate classes during your senior year that will count toward BOTH your undergraduate electives and toward your graduate degree requirements.  To select appropriate courses, you should meet with a member of the accounting faculty or with Dr. Marvin Bouillon, the Director of the MAcc. 

Graduate tuition will be assessed for students using the concurrent enrollment option.  Scholarships are available for the tuition differential thanks to KPMG, who will be funding the KPMG Lloyd Bock Scholars.  At this time, we believe there will be adequate funds to provide these tuition supplements for all ISU students who apply for concurrent enrollment and who are accepted into the Master of Accounting program.
