2023-2024 Graduate Catalog


Financial Aid for MPA

Students enrolled in the 3 + 2 Master in Professional Accountancy (MPA) will be considered graduate students for federal aid purposes beginning in the term following completion of 124 credits. During the semesters in which a 3 + 2 student is a graduate level status, they will pay no more in net tuition per semester than they would have paid in that same semester as an undergraduate student.  This assumes the student is in good academic standing and enrolled full-time.

Federal financial aid regulations will apply. Once classified as a graduate student, federal need based aid will no longer be available. Graduate students may be eligible to borrow unsubsidized direct loans only.

Students who have completed their BA or BS prior to enrolling in the MPA program will be eligible for Augustana gift assistance during the term(s) in with they are enrolled as graduates taking full loads of 9 credits or more in Fall and Spring terms and at least 3 credits in J-term. They are not eligible for Augustana gift assistance during terms in which they are enrolled in less than full-time status. Students who begin the program after completion of their undergraduate degree will be classified as graduate status throughout their entire MPA program.
