General Information

This program is devoted to teaching the skills required of today's accountant. The Indianapolis M.P.A. Program is designed for part-time students. However, you may pursue the degree on a full-time basis.

Students may apply to the M.P.A. Program with or without a bachelor's degree in business or accounting. Those entering the program with a bachelor's degree in business normally must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of course work. Those with a background in other fields may be required to do additional work to develop expertise in the core areas of business.

The evaluation of an admission application involves both a quantitative and qualitative assessment. In the qualitative phase, your letters of recommendation, any work experience, and other elements of your resume are reviewed. The quantitative component assesses academic credentials such as GPA and GMAT test scores. Applications should be submitted the semester prior to the fall, spring, or summer you wish to begin graduate studies.

The M.P.A. Program is quite flexible. The program requires that each student complete 15 credit hours of course work in accounting and/or systems. The remaining 15 credit hours allow students to develop a broad general knowledge in business or concentrate in a particular area of accounting. For example, students may select courses to build an expertise in a specific area such as taxation, systems, auditing and assurance, or management advisory services. Alternatively students could select one or more courses in each area. Note also that the program enables an individual to use the remaining 15 credit hours to pursue a program of study in a nonaccounting area such as finance, marketing, management, or economics.

Students may enroll at the beginning of any semester (fall, spring, summer I or II). Under certain circumstances, students who have not completed the program prerequisites may enroll in graduate business courses that satisfy M.P.A. graduation requirements. Attendance may be full time or part time.

Educational Objectives of the M.P.A. Program

The Accounting Education Change Commission has outlined the educational objectives that have guided the design of this program. AECC guidelines appear below.

The commission defines the accounting profession broadly. It includes career paths in large, medium, and small public accounting firms, corporate accounting (including financial management, controllership, treasury, financial analysis, planning and budgeting, cost accounting, internal audit, systems, tax, and general accounting), and government and nonprofit accounting.

Desired Capabilities

Accounting programs should prepare students to become professional accountants, not to be experienced professional accountants upon entering the profession. At the time of entry, graduates cannot be expected to have the same range of knowledge and skills as experienced professional accountants. To attain and maintain the status of a professional accountant requires continual learning. Therefore, pre-entry education should lay the foundation on which life-long learning can be built. This foundation has three components: skills, knowledge, and professional orientation.

Skills
To become successful professionals, accounting graduates must possess communication skills, intellectual skills, and interpersonal skills. Communication skills include both receiving and transmitting information and concepts, including effective reading, listening, writing, and speaking. Intellectual skills include the ability to locate, obtain, and organize information; to identify and solve unstructured problems in unfamiliar settings; and to exercise judgment based on comprehension of an unfocused set of facts. Interpersonal skills include the ability to work effectively in groups and provide leadership when appropriate.

Knowledge
Accounting graduates should have general knowledge, organizational and business knowledge, and accounting knowledge. General knowledge will help accounting professionals to understand the complex interdependence between the profession and society and interact with diverse groups of people. Such general knowledge should include an appreciation of the flow of ideas and events in history, an awareness of the different cultures and sociopolitical forces in today's world, a broad understanding of mathematics and economics, and an aesthetic sensibility. It will lead to an improved understanding of the worldwide economic, political, and social forces affecting society and the profession.

Professional accountants must understand the work environments found in organizations. They must understand the basic internal workings of organizations and the methods by which organizations change. Because organizations are affected by rapidly increasing dependency on technology, accounting professionals must understand the current and future roles of information technology in organizations.

A strong fundamental understanding of accounting is necessary for successful accounting careers. This understanding includes 1) the ability to identify goals, problems, and opportunities, 2) the ability to identify, gather, measure, summarize, verify, analyze, and interpret financial and nonfinancial data that are useful for addressing the goals, problems, and opportunities, and 3) the ability to use data, exercise judgments, evaluate risks, and solve real-world problems. The focus should be on developing analytical and conceptual thinking, not on memorizing professional standards.

Return to Educational Objectives of the M.P.A. Program

Professional Orientation

Accounting graduates should identify with the profession and be concerned with developing the knowledge, skills, and values of its members. They should know and understand the ethics of the profession and be able to make value-based judgments. They should be prepared to address issues with integrity, objectivity, competence, and concern for the public interest.

Specialized Accounting Education
Specialized accounting education should follow only after attainment of general accounting, organizational, and business knowledge. Therefore, it should be offered primarily at the post-baccalaureate level and via continuing education. Specialized accounting programs may include advanced study in financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, information systems, auditing, government (or nonprofit) accounting, and international accounting. Continuing professional education may overlap considerably with specialized accounting education offered by universities. The principle of comparative advantage should govern which types of specializations are offered by universities and which by others.

Graduation Requirements

In order to receive the Master of Professional Accountancy degree from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business, the candidate must fulfill the following requirements.

  1. Admission and Prerequisite Work.
    The student must apply and be admitted into the M.P.A. Program. For students who must complete prerequisite courses for admission to the program as identified in their letter of conditional admission, students normally must achieve a B or higher in such course work.

  2. Grades in Courses.
    The student must complete 30 semester hours of graduate work with no course grade below a C–. Thus, if a student receives a D+, D, or D–, the hours will NOT count toward graduation (see effect on required GPA below). Students who receive a grade in a required course below a C– normally must repeat the courses to achieve a grade of C– or higher. Required courses are: A511 Intermediate Accounting Theory and Problems II (or A512 if completed in lieu of A511), A514 Auditing, and A515 Federal Taxation, A551 Tax Research, and L503 Advanced Business Law. If the student's grade in a required course is below a C–, the course should be repeated during one of the following two semesters (including summer sessions). If a student does not achieve a C– or higher when the required course is repeated, he or she may be dismissed from the program, subject to review by the M.P.A. Policy Committee. When a student is required to repeat a course, it is recognized that it will be necessary for a student to complete more than the 30 credit hours normally required to graduate.

  3. Graduation Grade Point Average.
    The student must compile a 2.75 or higher cumulative grade point average in all graduate business course work. See Grading Systems and Standards below regarding how this calculation is to be made.

  4. Handbook Requirements.
    The student must meet all of the course requirements as stated in the M.P.A. Student Handbook for the semester of matriculation.

  5. Time Limit.
    The student must meet all of the above requirements within seven calendar years beginning with the semester in which the student enrolls in his or her first graduate course that is to be counted toward the graduation requirements.

  6. Application for Graduation.
    The student must file an Application for Graduation Form in the M.P.A. Office during the semester prior to the final semester before graduation.

Note that the student is normally required to complete 15 credit hours of accounting and/or systems course work.

If, as an undergraduate, a student has completed any required course or a potential elective course (or covered the material in a similar course), such a course normally must be replaced by another suitable course. For example, if an undergraduate accounting major has completed a course in auditing or in not-for-profit accounting, such courses normally cannot be repeated as part of the M.P.A. degree program except with approval of the M.P.A. chairperson.

Return to The Degree: Requirements and Policies

Learning in a Professional Environment (Supervised Work Experience)

The M.P.A. Program allows students to earn up to 6 credit hours for work experience they obtain while in the program. The work experience, referred to as Learning in a Professional Environment (LIPE) must be approved by the M.P.A. Policy Committee. Qualified work experience normally must be in public accounting. In some circumstances, other work experiences where the student is directly supervised by a CPA(s) or other authorized individual may be approved. To enhance the academic value of these work experiences, LIPE also requires students to attend approved workshops devoted to nontechnical skills demanded of accountants in their professional lives. These workshops examine a variety of topics such as leadership, ethics, time management, supervisory and mentoring skills, customer service and service quality, managing client relations, communications skills, and community service.

To obtain credit hours for this experience, the student must do the following:

  • Have the work experience approved.
  • Be unconditionally admitted to the M.P.A. Program and have completed one semester of 500-level course work.
  • Enroll in A529 Internship in Accounting. (This can be done either during the semester in which the student completes the work or a subsequent semester.) A529 is a pass-fail course and only a grade of S (Satisfactory) or F (Failure) will be issued.
  • Generally work at least 160 hours during the semester (e.g., 20 hours per week for 8 weeks or 10 hours per week for 16 weeks during the semester).
  • Attend an approved professional skills seminar (generally eight hours scheduled on a Saturday; note that these seminars normally should be done before or during the semester that the work experience is completed).
  • Attend two M.P.A. luncheons.
  • Attend an "other event" sponsored by the M.P.A. Student Association.
Note that A529 may be completed anytime while someone is enrolled in the program (e.g., the final two semesters that the student is in the program). The Kelley School of Business will help those not currently working in accounting to find internships. Also note if you transfer in credit from another university you can not get LIPE credit as well.

Grading Systems and Standards

The official grading system of the Kelley School of Business and the grade point values are:

A+ or A 4.0 C 2.0
A– 3.7 C– 1.7
B+ 3.3 D+ 1.3
B 3.0 D 1.0
B– 2.7 D– 0.7

Return to The Degree: Requirements and Policies

Computation of Grade Point Average

Based on the grade point system, a candidate must maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75 in all M.P.A. course work to remain in good standing and to complete graduation requirements. The GPA is to be computed after the posting of grades each semester. While the Kelley School of Business will attempt to monitor the GPAs of all M.P.A. students, it is the student's responsibility to know what his or her GPA and status are before enrolling in the following semester. In computing the student's GPA, the following policies apply:

  1. In calculating the cumulative GPA, the following course grades are not included:
    • A529 Internship in Accounting (LIPE)
    • Courses not approved for credit
    • Transfer credits
    • Courses not a part of the students M.P.A. curriculum
  2. Only courses with grades of C– or higher will count toward the necessary 30 hours for graduation; however, ALL grades (except ineligible course work defined above) are used in computing the GPA.
  3. If a D+, D, D–, or F is earned, the hours will NOT count toward graduation, but the grade will be used in calculating the GPA. Unless the course is a required course, the course cannot be repeated for credit. Additional course work to replace the hours and review work will be recommended by the director or chairperson of the program.
Return to The Degree: Requirements and Policies

Academic Probation

If a student's GPA falls below 2.75 (as determined at the close of the semester) or the student fails to make a C– in a required course, the student is notified in writing and placed on academic probation regardless of the number of credits completed. When the student's cumulative GPA has fallen below 2.75, the student must meet the cumulative 2.75 standard within the next 12 credit hours of course work, which must be completed during the following two semesters (summer I and II are treated as one semester for this purpose). Failure to meet this standard results in dismissal from the program. When a student's cumulative GPA fails to meet the 2.75, it is understood that it may be necessary for a student to complete more than the 30 credit hours normally required to graduate. As explained above, if the student's grade in a required course is below a C–, the student is placed on academic probation and the course should be repeated during one of the following two semesters (including summer sessions). If a student does not achieve a C– or above when the required course is repeated, he or she may be dismissed from the program, subject to review by the M.P.A. Policy Committee. When a student is required to repeat a course, it is understood that it will be necessary for a student to complete more than the 30 credit hours normally required to graduate.

Return to The Degree: Requirements and Policies

Pass/Fail Option

M.P.A. students may not enroll in graduate course work for credit toward the M.P.A. degree under the Pass/Fail option other than A529 Internship in Accounting (LIPE).

Return to The Degree: Requirements and Policies

Incomplete (I)

An Incomplete indicates that the work is passing as of the end of the semester, but a relatively small part of the course has not been completed. In order to give a grade of I, the faculty member must agree with a request for an Incomplete. The faculty member must file an Incomplete Form stating the reason for the Incomplete, the requirements for completion, and when the course is expected to be completed. An Incomplete not removed within one year of assignment automatically converts to an F.

  1. If the work required to remove the Incomplete is not finished before the beginning of the subsequent semester, enrollment in subsequent courses may not be approved. Approval to enroll in a subsequent semester with an I on the record must be obtained from the chairperson of the M.P.A. Program.
  2. A candidate cannot reenroll in a course in which a grade of I has been received.
  3. A candidate cannot be certified for graduation until his or her record is cleared of all Incompletes in both elective and required course work.
Return to The Degree: Requirements and Policies

Withdrawal (W)

There are times when the W is an appropriate grade. The W indicates that the course has not been successfully completed and therefore the student may not progress to the next semester's course work.

A W is automatically assigned if withdrawal occurs during the first eight weeks of a regular length semester. After that time, it is necessary to petition to withdraw. If the petition is granted, the student may withdraw and a W will be assigned for the course.

The W is not counted toward the cumulative GPA requirement. Similarly, the credit hours for which the student receives a W are not counted toward completion of the 30 credit hour requirement to complete the program. It should noted that the number of Ws that a student may receive is limited to five during the degree program.

Courses Taken in the Kelley School of Business

Accounting Courses
Before registering, each student's schedule normally must be authorized by the chairperson (or M.P.A. advisor). A590 Independent Study in Accounting requires the approval of the course instructor.

Combined Graduate and Undergraduate Courses
Some M.P.A. graduate accounting and systems courses (e.g., A511 Intermediate Accounting II, A514 Auditing, A515 Federal Taxation, A523 Business Information Systems) may be combined with undergraduate courses when there are insufficient graduate students to create a separate graduate section of the course. In such a case, M.P.A. students must register for the graduate number of such a course, or the course will not count toward the 30 credit hours required for the M.P.A. degree. In addition, M.P.A. students will normally be required to complete an additional project in the course.

Nonaccounting Business Courses
M.P.A. students normally must complete 6-12 credit hours of nonaccounting graduate business courses (including L503 Advanced Business Law). Acceptable courses do not include the basic business courses that M.P.A. students completed as prerequisites, including F523 Financial Management, M501 Strategic Marketing Management, P501 Operations Management, G511 Microeconomics for Managers, and G512 Macroeconomics for Managers. However, M.B.A. electives are generally available for M.P.A. students. For example, a student may wish to enroll in an advanced finance, management, marketing, operations, or systems course. These courses are normally reserved first for M.B.A. students. Therefore, before enrolling in these courses, the student should have completed any prerequisites and contacted the instructor for his or her approval.

By approval of the M.P.A. director or chairperson, M.P.A. students may enroll in certain upper-division undergraduate business courses for graduate credit. Approval is given where the course serves a particular objective of the student's graduate program. In such a case, the student completes the work required of undergraduate students as well as any additional work designated by the instructor.

Transfer Credit

Transfer of credit may be requested for courses that meet ALL of the following conditions:

  1. The course was for graduate credit only.
  2. If taken before entering the IU program, the course was an elective course taken while the student was a regularly enrolled graduate student in a program leading to a masters or similar advanced degree from an accredited institution. If the course was taken in a business school, the program must be accredited by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business).
  3. The grade earned was an A or B. Pass/Fail and other such grades are not satisfactory. A grade of B– or lower is not acceptable.
  4. The course has not counted and will not count toward another degree at Indiana University or at another institution.
No more than 6 semester hours of transfer credit will be granted for courses that meet the above criteria.

To request transfer of academic credit, an M.P.A. student must (1) complete a Request for Transfer Credit form, (2) attach a course description and syllabus, and (3) file the form and documentation in the M.P.A. Office. The request is forwarded to the appropriate department for a decision. The student will be notified in writing of the decision, which takes a minimum of two weeks.

Approval for transfer credit is conditional upon receipt, by the recorder in the M.P.A. Office, of an official copy of the transcript. Grades received on courses granted transfer credits are not included in the computation of the Indiana University GPA. Please note, if you get LIPE A529 credit, you cannot transfer in credit as well.

Courses in Other IU or Purdue Schools on the IUPUI Campus

M.P.A. students may enroll in elective courses offered by other units on the IUPUI campus with the approval of the M.P.A. chairperson and the other unit. For example, courses may be taken in the School of Law after appropriate permission forms have been completed. Normally, only graduate courses may be taken unless the M.P.A. chairperson approves such a course.

Candidate in Good Standing

Any M.P.A. degree candidate that maintains a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 at the close of each semester is considered "in good standing."

Return to M.P.A. Candidate Status

Academic Probation Status

If a student's GPA falls below 2.75 (as determined at the close of the semester) or if the student fails to make a C– in a required course, the student is notified in writing and placed on academic probation regardless of the number of credits completed. When the student's cumulative GPA has fallen below 2.75, the student must meet the cumulative 2.75 standard within the next 12 credit hours of course work, which must be completed during the following two semesters (summer I and II are treated as one semester for this purpose). Failure to meet this standard results in dismissal from the program. When a student's cumulative GPA fails to meet 2.75, it is understood that it may be necessary for a student to complete more than the 30 credit hours normally required to graduate.

As explained above, if the student's grade in a required course is below a C–, the student is placed on academic probation, and the course should be repeated during one of the following two semesters (including summer sessions). If a student does not achieve a C– or above when the required course is repeated, he or she may be dismissed from the program, subject to review by the M.P.A. Policy Committee. When a student is required to repeat a course, it is understood that it will be necessary for a student to complete more than the 30 credit hours normally required to graduate.

Failure to meet the enrollment and/or the minimum GPA requirement results in automatic dismissal from the program.

Return to M.P.A. Candidate Status

Dismissal

Dismissal will result from one of the following situations:

  1. A probationary candidate who fails to meet the conditions of probation (e.g., failure to receive a C– in a required course).
  2. A candidate whose cumulative GPA falls below the required minimum of 2.75 and fails to meet the 2.75 cumulative requirement within the next 12 credit hours of course work, which must be completed during the following two semesters. (For this purpose, summer I and summer II are considered a single semester).
  3. A candidate who does not complete all requirements within the seven-year limit, which begins in the first semester the student enrolls in a course that would count toward the M.P.A. degree.
Candidates subject to dismissal may petition the associate dean from the Indianapolis programs on an ad hoc basis. However, only in rare cases is continuation allowed.

Code of Student Ethics

Indiana University regulations governing the actions and interactions of members of the university community are intended to enhance the values that must be maintained in the pursuit of the university's purposes and goals of preserving, improving, increasing, transmitting, and applying knowledge. These values include freedom of inquiry, commitment of searching for the truth, the exercise of critical judgment, intellectual honesty, freedom for the open expression of ideas and opinions with limits that protect the rights of others, respect for the views and the dignity of other persons, and openness to constructive change.

The Indiana University Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct defines student rights and responsibilities, including individual rights in the areas of freedom from unlawful sexual harassment, racial harassment, and harassment based on sexual orientation. This code exists as a guide for students, faculty, and staff and is available from the M.P.A. office or from the Office of the Dean of Students.

Return to M.P.A. Candidate Status

Academic Misconduct

Indiana University, like all academic institutions, exists for the advancement of knowledge, the pursuit of truth, the development of students, and the promotion of the general well-being of society. Free inquiry and free expression are indispensable to the attainment of these goals. Students are expected to exercise their freedom to learn with responsibility and to respect the general conditions that maintain such freedom. The university has developed the following general regulations concerning student conduct that safeguard the right of every individual student to exercise fully the freedom to learn without interference.

The university may discipline a student for academic misconduct defined as any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution and undermine the educational process. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to, cheating, including unauthorized cooperation or the use of unauthorized material in preparing an assignment to be graded, fabrication, plagiarism, interference, violation of course rules, facilitating academic dishonesty, and all other acts of academic misconduct as defined by the IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct.

The university may also discipline a student for acts of personal misconduct occurring on university property, including falsifying emergency warnings; release of access codes for university resources; lewd, indecent, or obscene conduct; unauthorized entry; damage to university or property belonging to others; sexual or racial harassment; verbal abuse; and all other acts of personal misconduct as defined by the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct.

A faculty member who believes that a student has engaged in any form of academic dishonesty shall initiate the following process:

  1. Hold an informal conference with the student to discuss the matter and include information on both the act and the information upon which the allegation is based. The student must be given an opportunity to respond to the allegation of misconduct.
  2. If the faculty member concludes that the student did commit the act of misconduct, the faculty member is authorized to impose an appropriate academic sanction related to the particular course involved.
  3. The faculty member is required to report the matter promptly in writing to the student, the dean, the chairperson of the M.P.A. Program, and the dean of students.
  4. The student has the right to appeal the faculty member's decision that the student committed the act of misconduct, the faculty member's decision to impose a particular academic sanction, or the decision of the dean of students to impose an additional sanction. The appeal must be filed in writing within five days of receiving written notice of the sanction.
