Thank you very much for everyone who responses me on this forum. I think I am gonna forget about the master in math. I just added some math classes on my schedule! But those are undergraduate math class. Not sure whether or not it is appropriate to do that.

Thank you Wittmic. I have already took the GMAT and got a 730. That was last year when I applied to the MAcc program. I plan to retake the GMAT and hopefully I can get over 750, just to be more competitive. I have 2 options now. First one is to take some math courses at my current university, but that way I will not get any degree for math. But the plus side is that this method saves time, and is simply easier. (I can probably get those math courses done at the same time I graduate from MAcc next May). Second way is to apply MS in math after graduating from MAcc (then I will not take many math courses this year, I will only take what it is required to apply for MS math). The second option takes longer ,but gives me another master. If you were me, what you would do?

Hi all, I am new to this forum and need some advice on my application. I have recently decided to pursue a Phd in accounting, but what confused me is the math requirement for an acctg phd. Here is a little bit about my background: B.S in accounting from Penn State with econ minor. (Get all A's in econ courses) MAcc from Ohio State University. Currently working on CPA exams (hope to pass all 4 parts by the time of MAcc graduation) I think I have a competitive background in accounting. But the problem is that I did not take any math courses in my UG. (Took AP and waive calculus in college). Have taken introductory stat course (only 1). I know economy is also important but I don't think a minor in econ will give me any benefit if I target those top 20 programs. My question is: How can I improve my quant background? I don't want to take some courses at community college. Is is possible to get another master in math (or econ, which one do you think is better)? Since I don;t have any math class in UG, is it possible to get in master for math? Or I can apply to PHd now? Thank you very much! Please help.
