Prerequisites for the Doctoral Degree
International students should note that we rarely admit a student directly from outside the United States unless they have studied/worked in an English-language setting.
Prerequisites to undertaking doctoral course work include one, and preferably two, semesters of calculus; an introductory statistics course; intermediate-level microeconomic theory; and an undergraduate accounting major (or equivalent). Prior graduate work is not required for admission to the program, but most successful applicants do have a master’s degree.
