Business Exemption Exams

If you're entering a College of Business graduate program, you should be familiar with its Phase One and Phase Two requirements. Phase One coursework is considered prerequisite for Phase Two. You can meet Phase One requirements by satisfactorily completing the appropriate courses or by passing the corresponding exemption exams. You can only take an exemption exam once.

There is a $15 fee for each exam.

These exams are only for Master of Accountancy (MAC) and Master of Accounting Science (MAS) students.
