Application Process

There are two important steps in the application process for the Accounting Honors Program:

1. Spring of Freshman year: secure permission to enter AMIS 211H in Fall by email correspondence with the Director.
2. Spring of Sophomore year: submit a written application to the Accounting Honors Program.

Step One: Permission to take AMIS 211H

Early in the Spring quarter Freshmen students in Fisher College with a 3.5 GPA or better are sent an e-mail from the Director indicating that they are invited to the Annual Accounting Honors Reception and Information Session. They are asked to respond with whether they plan to attend, or cannot attend but are still interested in the Program. If you do not receive this invitation but believe you meet the qualifications for the Program, send an e-mail to the Director.

Subsequent to the Reception, the Director will e-mail all those who attended or who have otherwise expressed interest to confirm they wish to gain permission to take 211H.

After students respond to the Director, they receive an email notifying them as to whether they will be granted permission and how to register for 211H.

Step Two: Application to the Accounting Honors Program

Sophomores apply to the Accounting Honors Program in Spring during AMIS 519H. Applications are due during the second week of the Spring quarter.  Admission decisions are announced in mid-May.

 Notes:

1. The normal entry point to the Accounting Honors courses is AMIS 211H, but in special      circumstances students may begin with AMIS 212H.
2. Students who are unsure about their business major are welcome to take AMIS 211H. AMIS 211 or AMIS 211H is required of all business majors. Many Accounting Honors students double major in Finance or Economics, double major or minor in a Foreign Language, or minor in Economics, Mathematics, Statistics or other fields in Arts and Sciences.
3. Permission to take 211H is based primarily on the rigor of the student’s coursework, more than their overall GPA. Suggested courses include Math 151-152 or 161-162 and Econ 200H-201H. Students are also encouraged to take linear algebra in the Math department.
