Generally speaking, any course withAccounting, Tax, Audit, or Financial Reporting in the title will count towardthis limit.

你没看错这是一个神奇的项目，专门开设给非会计背景的同学，如果你已经是会计背景了，并且会计学相关学分超过12个，对不起，你就不能被录取。

很低，竞争相当激烈，之前送去的几个学生GMAT都在740以上。

里海大学这所身处宾州伯利恒的学校名不见经传，培养了大批会计和信息分析人才。因为这个学校的数学专业很牛。并不一定是会计学背景，但去之前要学过上述课程。

请忽略德州大学奥斯丁分校稍稍偏低的综合排名，这是美国会计硕士最好也是最难申请的项目，没有之一。纵使你完成所有的先修课程，也建议你慎重考虑选择此校，它优先招收本校毕业生。

总结：以上就是综合排名前50的大学的会计学硕士入学前的先修课要求，可以明显看出，很少有学校要求一定是会计学背景，但大多数学校又要求学过相关会计学课程。并且，不少学校对于课程少有不足的学校提供6月份入学的夏季课程，而由于中国的大学大都是7月份大学毕业，想去这类项目的同学必需申请提前毕业答辩，做好毕业照上没有你的准备。
