This nationally ranked program welcomes students from Cornell College majoring in any area of economics and business. The purpose of the partnership is to streamline Cornell students’ pathway to admission, knowing that recommendation by Cornell’s department chair ensures acceptance.

For admission to the W&M MAcc program, Cornell College students will need to

• Be nominated by the chair of the Economics and Business Department
• Apply to W&M MAcc program your junior or senior year at Cornell
• Maintain a cumulative college GPA of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale
• Develop a plan to complete the W&M Acc prerequisites through Cornell coursework, transfer courses, or MAcc boot camp summer intensive courses

You will receive the following benefits

• A $10,000 scholarship from the W&M MAcc program (up to three awards each year)
• You may qualify for additional merit scholarship funding
• You will not have to take the GMAT or GRE to be admitted to the W&M MAcc program
• You will not pay an application fee to the W&M MAcc program

What are the W&M MAcc prerequisites?

The following courses are required to qualify for admission into the W&M MAcc program, if you are not able to take all of the Cornell courses that fulfill these requirements you will have the option to take courses through summer intensive boot camps during the summer of your junior or senior year. The boot camp courses are not a part of your Cornell College or W&M MAcc tuition so you will incur additional costs for each course that you elect to take during boot camp.

If you’re interested in this program you’re strongly encouraged to work closely with the ECB department chair in addition to your academic advisor.
