MACC Program Tuition Assistance
The Belk College of Business offers a limited number of program-based funding opportunities.
- Those who apply before the Priority Deadline are automatically considered for merit-based scholarships.
- Those who wish to be considered for graduate assistantships should check the appropriate box in their application indicating their interest and apply before the Priority Deadline.
- Please note that funding opportunities are highly competitive, so it is uncommon for programs to offer them to students who apply after the Priority Deadline.
- Priority Deadline for Fall: March 1
University scholarship opportunities may be found in NinerScholars Portal and additional on-campus assistantships and other on-campus work may be found in Hire-A-Niner. The Graduate School also maintains a repository of information on funding.
Additional information on financial aid and student loans is available on Niner Central’s website.
MACC program Admissions
All applicants seeking admission to the Master of Accountancy program must fulfill the University’s general requirements for graduate admission at the Master’s level. Additional requirements for admission into the program include:
- Completed online application
- Statement of purpose (essay)
- Three letters of recommendation from persons familiar with your academic or professional qualifications
- Transcript(s) of all academic work attempted beyond high school
- Satisfactory test scores on the GMAT or GRE or GMAT/GRE waiver
- Resume
- Possession of a U.S. Bachelor’s degree in accounting from an accredited college or university. Students with non-accounting undergraduate backgrounds should complete an undergraduate degree in accounting before applying to the program. Similarly, students without a U.S. accounting undergraduate degree should also plan to complete an U.S. accounting undergraduate degree program before applying to the program.
- An overall grade point average of at least 3.0 on the applicant’s previous work beyond high school
GMAT/GRE Waiver
Applying for a GRE/GMAT waiver is easy! Simply start your Charlotte Master of Accountancy application through Graduate Admissions. After you enter your details, you will see an option on the left GRE/GMAT Waiver Request.
Follow these steps:
- Read over the waiver criteria
- Enter your amount of years of full-time, professional work experience
- Upload your resume
- Upload your transcript
- Submit the application.
You do not have to pay the application fee to be considered for a waiver. Additional details may be found in the application portal. You will be notified via email of the waiver decision.
All GMAT/GRE waivers are at the discretion of the Master of Accountancy Graduate Program Committee. Meeting the minimum requirements to request a waiver does not mean an automatic waiver of the test, nor does it guarantee later acceptance into the program. If you are unable to secure the waiver, you will be required to submit official GMAT/GRE test scores in your Master of Accountancy application. If you have any questions about the waiver process, please contact Kaylie Etheridge.
Application deadlines
The MACC program admits students throughout the year on a rolling basis. Final application deadlines are:
- August 1 – Fall Admission
- May 1 – Summer Admission
The application process is managed by the UNC Charlotte Graduate School. Applications will continue to be reviewed on an ongoing basis as space permits. Enrollment is limited, so students are encouraged to apply early.
