In reviewing your application, we noticed that your undergraduate university is not currently on the list of accredited colleges and universities as provided by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
We look for our Master’s students to graduate from an AACSB accredited institution, as the State Boards of Accountancy require graduation from an accredited institution in order to sit for the CPA exam. An exception to this rule is if a student is granted a waiver. To support your waiver request, it may be in your best interest to contact the Foreign Academic Credentials Service (FACS) and ask them to provide an opinion as to whether your undergraduate degree, coupled with the Purdue Master’s in Accounting program qualifies you to sit for the CPA exam. For more information on FACS, Should you decide to pursue this course of action, please note you are responsible for all costs for services rendered by FACS. Currently, your application with Purdue is on-hold pending resolution of this issue. We respectfully request you submit an official copy of the FACS evaluation within 30 days of today's date 1/23/2013. If you fail to do so, your application for admission will be denied by the admissions office.
