Master of Professional Accountancy (MPAc) 

at Montana State University, Bozeman

A baccalaureate degree in accounting from an accredited college or university provides the best foundation for this program

Applicants with Non-Accounting Bachelor Degrees: Applicants who do not have an undergraduate degree in accounting may have to complete additional course work. Depending on the number of background courses to be taken, a student may have to remain in non-degree graduate status until the background course work is completed.
The requirements listed below assume no prior background in business or accounting. An applicant with a degree in a business area other than accounting may have fulfilled several of the courses. The MPAc Advisory Council will assess the applicant's transcript and determine which background courses have been fulfilled. An applicant with a non-business degree must be within 15 credits of completing all of the required background courses before he or she will be considered for admission into the MPAc program. Note that there may be additional courses in economics, statistics, and business software applications required to satisfy the pre-requisites for the background business courses
