Accounting Admissions

Getting Started on Your Application

Norwich welcomes goal-oriented individuals who share our passion for public service and are committed to furthering their field and contributing positively to their community. The following eligibility requirements are intended to ensure that those admitted to the program will be able to take full advantage of Norwich’s rigorous academic environment. Applicants not meeting these requirements will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Eligibility Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree from a regionally or nationally accredited U.S. institution, or an equivalent degree from a foreign institution, as evaluated by WES, IERF, SpanTran, or CED.
  • If English is not your first language, proof of English language proficiency is required.  This can be demonstrated in one of three ways:
    • TOEFL - a minimum score of 550 (paper-based test) or 80 (Internet-based test) is required.*
    • IELTS – a minimum composite score of 6.5 is required.*
    • The applicant holds a baccalaureate or master’s degree from a college/university/institution in which the primary language of instruction was English.

Please Note:  All eligibility requirements are expected to be met unless noted in specific articulation agreements or memoranda of understand (MOUs). If applicants do not have the proper accounting or business background/experience, preparatory courses in finance, economics and/or statistics may be required prior to enrolling in the Master of Accounting program.

Professional Licensure Disclosure

Norwich University's Master of Accounting (MAcc) program extends student's knowledge of accounting theory, research, and practice, and offers the opportunity for significant educational credits towards various states' licensure requirements. It may lead some students to pursue a CPA license. Given the diverse educational backgrounds of our students and the variety of state laws governing CPA licensure, Norwich University has not determined whether its educational program is sufficient to meet the educational licensure requirements in every location in the United States. Additionally, further coursework, experience, fieldwork, or background checks may be necessary. Please review our Professional Licensure Disclosure.
