　　A strong basic foundation inaccounting as indicated by completion of the following prerequisite coursework:

　　Financial Accounting

　　Managerial Accounting

　　Intermediate Accounting I

　　Intermediate Accounting II

　　U.S.Federal Taxation Auditing

　　有先修课程要求，而且你会注意到有美国联邦税务审计课程的要求，但田老师之前也有学生没有修过这门课被录取的，可以跟学校争取免除。

　　5. University of Michigan—Ann Arbor Master of Accounting

　　A One-Year Graduate Accounting Program

　　for Non-Accounting Majors

　　The Master of Accounting Program at UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School is designed for people with little to no previous accounting education.

　　Applicants may not have more than 12.0 credits of accounting to enter the program. This requirement is a reflection of the way the curriculum is structured. You will find that different programs across the U.S. are structured in various ways.

　　Generally speaking, any course with Accounting, Tax, Audit, or Financial Reporting in the title will count toward this limit.

　　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。

　　8. Wake Forest University Master of Accounting

　　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。并不一定是会计学背景，但去之前要学过上述课程。

　　凯斯西储大学的先修课程其实还不如叫毕业前必修课程，只要你在这个会计硕士项目毕业之前修完就可以，成绩还要好，不能低于B。

　　15.University of Washington Master of Professional Accounting

　　华盛顿大学西雅图分校综合排名41

　　The Master of Professional Accounting (MPAcc) Program is designed primarily for applicants who have an undergraduate business degree with an accounting option or major.

　　Introduction to cost behavior, budgeting, responsibilityaccounting, cost control, and product costing.

　　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。
