In addition individuals who have demonstrated their ability to do graduate work in accounting by becoming a CPA or who have earned a graduate degree from a business school accredited by the AACSB are also waved from the requirement to take the GMAT exam. Students without an undergraduate degree in accounting will be required to take certain prerequisite courses to secure admission.
