纳尼？去美国读会计硕士还有这些特殊要求

美国的会计硕士项目对于申请者的背景要求五花八门，简单看可以分成三类，第一类必需是会计学背景，第二类是否是会计学背景均可，有少量先修课要求，第三类必需不能是会计学本科背景。

　　请忽略德州大学奥斯丁分校稍稍偏低的综合排名，这是美国会计硕士最好也是最难申请的项目，没有之一。纵使你完成所有的先修课程，也建议你慎重考虑选择此校，它优先招收本校毕业生。

总结：以上就是综合排名前50的大学的会计学硕士入学前的先修课要求，可以明显看出，很少有学校要求一定是会计学背景，但大多数学校又要求学过相关会计学课程。并且，不少学校对于课程少有不足的学校提供6月份入学的夏季课程，而由于中国的大学大都是7月份大学毕业，想去这类项目的同学必需申请提前毕业答辩，做好毕业照上没有你的准备。
