The accountancy program at the University of Missouri has long been nationally recognized for its excellence. MU accountancy faculty have published leading textbooks and research articles and have served at high levels in numerous professional accounting associations. Accountancy prepares students for the competitive field of accounting with a combination of classroom study, practical experience, and student organizations.
Students wanting to explore accountancy as a major should take ACCTCY 2036 or ACCTCY 2026.
Admissions
For undergraduate students, the Bachelor of Science and Master of Accountancy degree programs are merged into an integrated 150-hour curriculum to be entered into after the completion of pre-requisite courses typically as a junior. The School of Accountancy also offers a Master of Accountancy degree offered in-person as well as an accounting minor.
Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Admission cutoffs will be revised each year so students can be served with current authorized faculty staffing and still maintain program quality and meet accreditation guidelines.
Students not admitted to the 150 credit hour degree program in the School of Accountancy may meet Trulaske College of Business admission requirements and transfer into a business administration emphasis area, depending on available space.
A student may take no more than six credit hours of 3000 or higher business courses through non-MU courses off campus, excluding ACCTCY 3326, ACCTCY 3328, ACCTCY 3346, ACCTCY 3347, ACCTCY 4353, ACCTCY 4940 and ACCTCY 7940. Study abroad courses are also excluded from this requirement.

Undergraduate Level
Students who are admitted to MU and indicate an interest in becoming accountancy or business majors are subsequently forwarded to the Undergraduate Advising Office of the College of Business (111 Cornell Hall, 573-882-7073). Qualified applicants with less than 54 semester hours of college courses completed will be admitted to the lower level of the Trulaske College of Business. Applicants with more than 54 semester hours of college credit may be admitted to a specific upper level college of business program, e.g., the 150-Hour Accountancy Program, if they meet the program's admission requirements. Students who transfer into the Trulaske College of Business' lower level from another Mizzou school or college must complete the Transfer of Division process.
The combined BSAcc/MAcc (150-hour) program is open to qualified undergraduate students at Mizzou as well as qualified undergraduates who transfer to MU from other colleges and universities. Interested students not already admitted to Mizzou should visit the Office of Admissions website. Undergraduate students are also responsible for completing all Trulaske College of Business requirements. These requirements can be found here. A student must first be admitted to the Trulaske College of Business before they are eligible to apply to the 150-hr BSAcc/MAcc program.
Admission to the Joint BSAcc and MAcc Degree Program
In the School of Accountancy, the bachelor’s and master’s degree programs are merged into an integrated 150-hour program. Students should be admitted to the BSAcc/MAcc degree program by the time they have completed 60 hours. Refer to the list of Pre-Accountancy courses in the BSAcc information which are required for admission.
Students must also complete the Trulaske Edge point requirements for admission to the School of Accountancy and for graduation. Students must earn a minimum of 100 EDGE points at the lower level to be considered for official admittance to the upper level. Once admitted, students must earn a total of 200 EDGE points for graduation.
Academic Standing - School of Accountancy
Accountancy students are in good academic standing if they maintain a cumulative UM grade point average of 3.0 or higher for all coursework taken subsequent to admission to the 150-hour Accountancy program. Failure to meet this requirement will result in a probationary semester, and if not rectified, potential dismissal from the program. Accountancy students are also subject to the probation and dismissal policies set by the Trulaske College of Business. An undergraduate who has been ineligible to enroll for a period of one year may be readmitted only on the approval of the Director of the 150-hour program in Accountancy. As a condition of readmission, the Director may set forth stipulations with regard to minimum standards of academic work that must be maintained by the student. After readmission, if the student again becomes ineligible to enroll, his or her ineligibility is considered permanent. Accountancy students entering the graduate portion of the 150-hour program should consult the Graduate School for academic standing policies for graduate students.
