Statement of Purpose Please explain, in between 500 and 750 words, how the Master of Accounting (MAcc) program will build on your experiences to date and will further your career goals. Tell us not only what you hope to gain from the MAcc program but also what will you bring to the program and to the Lundquist College of Business learning community (PDFs strongly preferred).
Please take great care in crafting your statement of purpose and do not have others write them for you. The statement of purpose is your best opportunity to provide the admissions staff with real insight into your personality, values, as well as breadth and depth of education and experiences. There are no right or wrong answers, but there are good and bad statements. We read them carefully for originality and logic of thought, creativity of expression, and correctness of syntax and spelling.
- One recommendation (Register recommender online via MAcc Program Application)
We prefer that the recommendation is from an accounting professor who has taught an applicant in a major class preferably a junior- or senior-level accounting class and not an introductory accounting class. The recommendation should address the applicant’s intellectual capacity, motivation, work ethic and maturity.
You can submit your program application BEFORE your recommendation has been received.
- Up-to-date resume (submit online via MAcc Program Application)
- Official GMAT score report†
All applicants are required to take the GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test) with the exception of current University of Oregon students pursuing a bachelor’s degree in accounting.
Submit an official copy of your GMAT score by selecting the GMAT Business School program name Charles H. Lundquist College of Business – Masters in Accounting (code = KSQ-5N-35). For more information on registration, test centers, test preparation materials, and test fees, please visit the GMAT website.
If you have already taken the GMAT exam, but did not list the UO Charles H. Lundquist College of Business as a participating school to have access to your online official score report, you will need to contact GMAT in order to add our school to the list of participating schools who can access your report.
Note: GMAT scores are only valid for five (5) years.
†As long as you include copies of GMAT score reports in your online application, you may hold off on submitting the official scores until after the admissions decision.
