A key factor for all applicants is the undergraduate GPA, although graduate coursework will be taken into account. Request your official transcripts as soon as possible, as they can take time to print, prepare and mail. The Office of Admission requires original transcripts from all universities you’ve attended. It’s easiest to have the institution send your transcript directly to us.
If you are mailing an institution’s transcript, do not break the seal upon receipt. If you attended a non-U.S. institution, you must provide the official transcript and a transcript evaluation with a course-by-course analysis conducted by a transcript evaluation service such as World Education Services.
Send your resume to our team via email. By submitting your resume you are signaling that you are a polished professional. That’s great because our students are professionals who are looking to enhance or change their careers. The diversity of your overall work experience is important to us.
The Admissions Committee holistically considers your transcripts, work experience, personal statement and professional recommendation in the evaluation process.

Clearly tell the admissions committee more about your background and your interests. Share the reasons why you are interested in pursuing a University of Baltimore degree in M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services.
Include your thoughts about how the program will assist you in achieving your academic and professional development goals. Make sure your essay is well written and exhibits a high level of academic and professional competency. Again, don’t forget to proofread for grammatical and spelling errors.
One recommendation letter is required for candidates with a GPA less than 3.0. It should come from someone with the ability to evaluate your academic aptitude and/or professional experience, such as a professor, supervisor, project partner, or mentor.
Candidates with a GPA above 3.0 are not required to submit a letter of recommendation but it is welcomed.
Examples should include details of your work history, thoughts on your competence as an employee, an explanation of why they think you’d be a successful M.S. in Accounting and Business Advisory Services candidate, description of your academic ability, etc.
Ask the writers to put their letters of recommendation in sealed envelopes with their signatures on the back flap. Give those individuals who are writing your letters of recommendation at least two weeks—but preferably a month—to complete the task. This allows them to take their time and communicate their thoughts and recommendations of the likelihood that you will succeed in the program.
