Foundation Courses

The graduate programs build on the students' technical competence in undergraduate accounting and business courses. To provide a background for successful study at the graduate level, a series of foundation courses or their equivalents must be completed before enrolling in courses for graduate credit.

All or part of the foundation course requirements may be fulfilled by courses taken at other universities. Students with undergraduate degrees in accounting usually have satisfied all, or most, of the foundation course requirements.

A grade of "C" or better is required in all foundation courses. Accounting 3123 and 3141 are not required in the Taxation Option.
