This shared-credit degrees program meets the CPA education requirements through a combination of undergraduate accounting classes and a flexible mix of graduate-level accounting courses in financial accounting, tax accounting, auditing, and information assurance.
For the first three years of university study, the student pursues a normal program of undergraduate work. During the junior year of academic work, the student applies for admission to the M.Acct. program. In the senior year of academic work, the student begins the first year of the M.Acct. program and also completes the requirements for the undergraduate degree using specified graduate courses. In the final year of study, the student completes the second-year requirements and electives of the M.Acct. program.
Students may apply when they are within 36 credit hours of completing their B.B.A. with a minimum GPA of 3.2 overall and have completed MGMT 340 and 341 and 346 with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Applicants to the program are not required to take the GMAT. Applicants are required to write an essay describing their reasons for pursuing an advanced degree in accounting.

Coursework in the following areas cannot be taken on a Credit/No Credit "CR/NC" basis either at the University of New Mexico or another institution: pre-admission coursework, management core courses, upper-division Humanities requirement and concentration classes. Students should refer to "Grade Options" in the Student Services Information section of this Catalog for further information.
First preference for enrollment in all upper-division Management courses is given to students who have been admitted to the Anderson School of Management.
Students enrolled in other Colleges and Schools at UNM are allowed registration on a space-available basis provided they satisfy all prerequisites. Students must have a transcript on file with the Undergraduate Advisement Center each semester that they take a restricted course. Students may take up to 12 credit hours of 300-level management classes prior to their admission to the Anderson School of Management. Certain exceptions for individuals possessing a Bachelor’s degree and enrolled in Non-Degree status may be made for accounting courses only.
The Anderson School of Management reserves the right to disenroll from a class any student who lacks proper prerequisites or who is enrolled in more than one section of the same course.
It is the firm policy of the Anderson School of Management that course prerequisites must be observed. Management courses taken out of sequence may not be used to fulfill degree requirements regardless of the grades earned in such courses. The School reserves the right to disenroll from a class any student who lacks proper prerequisites.
See the regulations concerning academic probation and dismissal shown in the Scholastic Regulations entry of the Student Services Information section of this Catalog.
Students with a cumulative grade point average of less than a 2.00 are placed on internal Anderson School of Management and University of New Mexico probation. Students placed on probation may be dismissed from the Anderson School of Management if they fail to improve their academic performance in the following semester.
It is emphasized that students are solely responsible for complying with all regulations of the University, their respective colleges and the departments from which they take courses as well as for fulfilling all degree requirements. Therefore, students are advised to familiarize themselves with the academic regulations of the University.
Transferring students must meet normal requirements for admission to this University as well as admission requirements of the Anderson School of Management.
Transfer of credit is a two-part process. (1) The Office of Admissions prepares a credit evaluation statement as soon as possible after admission status has been determined. (2) Each college or school will then determine if and how this transferable work may be used to meet individual degree requirements. Determination of the use of transferable work is made at the time of admission to the Anderson School of Management. Evaluations or opinions offered prior to admission are unofficial and nonbinding.
Students desiring to transfer credit for any upper-division Anderson School of Management course must receive prior approval from a faculty member possessing expertise in the area. Requests for transferring upper-division coursework should be submitted electronically through the Transfer Course Request Form. Students requesting credit from institutions outside of the United States should be prepared to provide information about the number of classroom hours per course and the quality of the institution.
A minimum of 24 credit hours must be taken in residence at Anderson. At least fifty percent (50%) of the management core and fifty percent (50%) of the concentration classes must be taken at Anderson unless the student obtains a written waiver from the Department Chair. Individual departments may establish additional residency requirements. The Anderson School of Management does not accept credit from educational programs of noncollegiate organizations.
Students transferring from accredited junior, community or branch colleges should note that transfer credit is not granted for courses that are offered at the upper-division level at the University of New Mexico unless specifically articulated. Lower-division credit is determined in the manner mentioned above.
The Anderson School of Management faculty believes that managerial skills and knowledge change frequently. Courses taken more than five years ago may become outdated. Undergraduate students are normally expected to complete their studies at Anderson within five years of admission. Generally, a student continuously enrolled in the Anderson School of Management or who is granted a formal leave of absence due to health or family emergencies is not required to repeat coursework that becomes outdated. However, students who interrupt their studies at the University of New Mexico for one full year are not considered to be continuously enrolled and may be required to repeat management coursework taken over five years ago. Students approaching the five-year deadline should see an Anderson advisor and prepare a formal plan for completion of their studies.
