Approved Electives

Because each institution has its own undergraduate degree requirements, it is usually the case that some preparatory courses required by the Fisher School of Accounting have not been met. Frequently, the deficiencies are in accounting and communications courses. These courses, and any other unmet preparatory courses for the M.Acc. program, must be completed prior to being awarded a Master of Accounting degree. In certain instances, these courses are prerequisites for M.Acc. course requirements and can lengthen the time to graduation.

Preparatory courses may be taken at other institutions prior to enrollment at the University of Florida. However, students must complete a course substitution form establishing that the course taken is equivalent to the required Fisher School preparatory course.
