Requirements for Transferring

You first need to be admitted to UIC and the CBA (Check out http://www.uic.edu/). If you have not taken any accounting courses before transferring, you must take Accounting 210 and Accounting 211 and get a "B" average in both.

Transferring credit for basic accounting courses
All UIC students have to take basic accounting courses: Financial Accounting - 210 and Management Accounting - 211 and receive a "B" average to become an accounting major. The first courses as an accounting major are rigorous and can be challenging for all students. Since you may have taken the basic accounting some time back, all transfer students must pass the Accounting Qualifying Examination (AQE) before entering as an accounting major.

Note that your basic accounting courses in Financial Accounting and Management Accounting can be transferred and you will get credit, but you have to pass the AQE to continue as an accounting major.

We have transfer agreements with many Chicago area colleges.Transfer guides to many of those are available at: http://www.uic.edu/cba/ugrad/academic_services/transferguides.html
