We gathered some key information about submitting an application for the Rice MAcc program below.

What Do I Need to Apply?

Our Rice MAcc application is hosted entirely online, so you will submit all materials through our Rice Business application portal.

To complete your application, you submit the following materials:

  • Statement of purpose essay
  • Resume
  • Unofficial academic transcripts
  • The names and contact information of two academic or professional references
  • Optional: Scholarship essay to be considered for any scholarship opportunities available

You can find more information on our required MAcc materials and admissions process on our MAcc Admissions page.

Standardized Test Score Policy

You aren’t required to provide a GMAT or GRE test score for your Rice MAcc application. However, you are still welcome to provide one if you believe it will help demonstrate your aptitude to the Rice MAcc Admissions Committee.

Rice MAcc Program Scholarships

Yes, merit-based scholarships are available and awarded on a competitive basis. Awards range from $5,000 to full tuition. To be considered for a scholarship, you will need to write an additional essay in your application. While the Rice MAcc application does not require a GMAT or GRE test score, submitting a strong test score may increase your chances for a merit-based scholarship.
