Louisiana Tech University and Grambling State University (GSU)signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in 2020 that provides GSU accounting undergraduates accelerated entry into Louisiana
Tech’s MAcc program. Tech’s concurrent MAcc option allows Tech College of Business
accounting majors with a 3.2 GPA and less than 30 hours of coursework remaining to
begin taking graduate-level courses while still an undergraduate. Through this agreement,
Grambling students meeting these requirements can also begin the Tech program concurrently
while maintaining fulltime undergraduate status at GSU.

1) Apply as a Concurrent MAcc student at byclicking here. 2) Request that your official Grambling transcript be sent to Louisiana Tech (additionally,
you will need to have official transcripts from any other institution you attended
sent to Tech). 3) Request two letters of reference. One must be from your faculty advisor at Grambling
(the other may be from a supervisor or other faculty member), stating that you:
have less than 30 undergraduate hours to complete your undergraduate degree;
state when you are expected to complete your undergraduate degree (semester/year)
leaving room for graduate level courses;
state when you are expected to begin (quarter/year) in the MAcc program as a graduate
student;
include your current UGPA;
and that you are recommended for a Master’s program.
4) Pay your $40 application fee. 5) Once your application is submitted, Louisiana Tech’s College of Business will request
a Memo of Support from the Dean’s Office at Grambling. This will then be attached
to your application and your application will be reviewed shortly.
Full Scholarship Support and Assistantships Available!
Once you begin the program, you must take (at least) one Concurrent course per quarter.
We offer scholarship support thanks to a generous gift from Deloitte for Concurrent
MAcc courses taken at Louisiana Tech while you are classified an undergraduate student
at Grambling. This will cover tuition and fees for your coursework at Louisiana Tech
while you are enrolled fulltime at Grambling and meet all requirements of our program.
You must maintain a minimum cumulative graduate GPA of 3.0 while in the Concurrent
program. No more than 12 graduate credit hours may be earned while completing bachelor’s
requirements from Grambling. Courses taken for graduate credit cannot be used to satisfy
undergraduate requirements.
Upon undergraduate graduation from Grambling, students are required to apply to Louisiana
Tech’s graduate school for admission into the MAcc program. Applicants to the graduate
school will not be charged another $40 application fee and the GMAT requirement will
be waived. After official admission to the MAcc program, students enrolled fulltime
will be offered a Graduate Assistantship which waives any out-of-state fees and provides
approximately $650 per month (during Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters) for 20 hours
per week of work in the College of Business. Additionally, tuition and fees for the
MAcc program will be covered by scholarship support from Deloitte.
