The 30-credit program may be completed in one academic year, unless prerequisite business and accounting courses are required based upon deficiencies in the undergraduate degree program of the applicant. Professional experience is not required for admission to the program.
Flexibility is the key characteristic of the M.S. in Accounting Program. That is, subject to certain broad guidelines, each student's program of study is developed to further her or his chosen professional objectives and to build on, or complete, the student's prior academic background. A student selects one of three accounting specialty "options" consisting of four or five required courses:
• Public and Corporate Accounting (PCA)
• Taxation (TAX)
• Information System (IS)
Students complement their accounting education with other business courses in finance, supply chain management, management, marketing and communication.
Two academic advisors are dedicated to help students in developing education plans and achieve their educational goals by providing counsel, accurate, and timely information.
Academic credentials
The minimum standards for admission to the M.S. in Accounting program are:
1. A bachelor’s degree in accounting from a recognized educational institution, or a bachelor’s degree that includes the prerequisites of intermediate financial accounting, a survey of calculus, and probability and statistics.*
2. A cumulative grade-point average of at least a 3.0 from any institution attended.
A cumulative grade-point average of at least a 3.0 in any junior and senior level accounting courses.
*Although students may be accepted into the program whose undergraduate degree is not in accounting, these students will be required to complete all undergraduate accounting major courses (equivalent to an MSU undergraduate degree in accounting) prior to, or during enrollment in the M.S. in Accounting program.
Standardized tests (GRE or GMAT)
The program accepts either the GMAT or GRE exam, with a minimum GMAT score of 550 (school code: QH0-5P-32) or strong GRE scores (school code: 1465).
Language requirements
A minimum International language Testing System (IELTS) band score of 7, OR a minimum score in any of the following Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) formats:
600 on paper-based TOEFL
250 on computer version of TOEFL

[面试经验]密西根州立大學MSU MSA 2020fall interview面經[2019-11-14]
趁著上週剛面試記憶猶新，來回報一下：
1. Why do you choose this program?
2. Why do you choose this track? How this program will help you to your career goal?
3. Tell me about the recent working experience and what skills you got?
4. What do you do outside the academic work? What do you passion about? (我向她確認，問的是habits那一類? 她說是的)
5. What do you want to get from this program? What kind of experience both in the academic and non - academic do you want to get?
6. Any questions?
我是預約11/15凌晨12點面試的，美國時間是11/14早晨，面試官是系主任Shannon。整體來說和過去的面經問題差不多，時長約20分鐘，因為我容易緊張、語速慢(望向我精美的TOEFL.....)，中間回答有點卡，不然應該能在預定的15分鐘內結束。
但是講錯了也不要緊張，因為Shannon真的很nice！ 她途中鼓勵我好幾次，也說能理解面試會緊張、這很正常，重要的是有從我的回答感受到熱忱(感動啊...)。
另外補充Video Essay的題目，現在似乎是隨機出題了，我遇到的是類似Written Essay B的問題：
What will you contribute to this program?
