Juris Doctor and Master of Accounting

The combination program culminates in the joint awarding of the Juris Doctor (JD) and the Master of Accounting (MAcc) degrees. The combination program is designed for students who have an undergraduate degree in accounting and are interested in advanced studies in both accounting and law. The MAcc portion of the program offers three options: concentration in auditing, concentration in taxation, and no concentration. The combination program is open to students who have completed the equivalent of a major in accounting at the undergraduate level. Currently enrolled students should use the JD/MAcc Student Resources to develop a plan of study.

The minimum standards which must be met before a student will be considered for admission into the Fisher School graduate program are the following:

Bachelor degree, or equivalent. International applicants may be required to have their academic credentials evaluated by private evaluation services to establish academic equivalency. Review the list of approved private evaluation services.
GPA of at least 3.0 (rounding not permitted) calculated on all courses taken after the student reaches 60 hours. For applicants who earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Florida, only UF courses will be included, unless those courses were taken after the bachelor's degree was awarded.
A GPA of at least 3.0 for all accounting courses numbered 3000 and above.
Students without an undergraduate degree in accounting must have, at a minimum, completed the equivalent of ACG 3101, ACG 3401, ACG 4111, and ACG 4341 to be considered for admission (If admitted, the student will still have to satisfy all unmet preparatory course requirements prior to earning the MAcc degree.
Once a student has earned a C grade in these courses, repeats of the same course will not be computed in the student's accounting GPA if the repeat grade is higher than a C-.
*Note: If a student elects to take a 3000-level or above accounting class under the S/U option in the Spring 2020 semester, and earns a grade of S, and then repeats the course, and earns a grade of C or better, the second attempt will not be factored into the accounting GPA for purposes of admission to the MAcc.
It is strongly recommended that upper-division accounting preparatory courses be taken at a business school accredited by the AACSB.
