    Accounting

    About

    Saint Louis University's integrated accounting program allows students the opportunity to complete both the undergraduate and graduate degrees in accounting simultaneously.

    This program is designed for students entering SLU with both:

    • A University scholarship
    • College credit earned before entering SLU

    There may be a financial aid advantage to this option. Any semester(s) of unused undergraduate University scholarships may be applied while enrolled in master-level coursework. For example, if a student has an eight-semester undergraduate scholarship but only needs seven semesters to complete the bachelor's component of the integrated program, the student may apply the last semester of their scholarship (prorated) to the first semester of the master's component of the integrated program. However, undergraduate federal aid would not apply for the master's component of the integrated program. In addition, tuition remission is not considered a university scholarship and, therefore, cannot be used for the master's component of the integrated program.

    For additional information, see the catalog entries for the following programs:

    Saint Louis University's Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier business school accrediting body. Achieving AACSB accreditation ensures continuous quality improvement in the learning environment through enhancements to the curriculum, instructional resources, student selection, career planning and placement and the intellectual contributions and qualifications of the faculty.

    Fewer than 5% of business schools worldwide have achieved AACSB accreditation. The accounting program is also separately accredited by the AACSB, one of only 183 schools to have earned this distinction.

    If you’ve used a third-party, centralized application to apply — such as SOPHAS for public health programs or CASPA for physician administration programs — you’ll need to email us directly at [email protected] with your decision.

    Step 2: Set up your SLU Net ID

    Follow these step-by-step instructions to set up your SLU Net ID.

    Step 3: Log into MySLU

    Log into mySLU at auth.slu.edu. Use your SLU Net ID and SLU Net Password, then click "Login." Click on the "Tools" tab to find links to systems, such as Banner Self-Service and other SLU applications and systems.

    When logging in for the first time, you will be directed to set up your multi-factor authentication. You will need to log in upon completing that process.

    Step 4: Check with your academic department

    Contact your department in order to receive enrollment directions, important dates and other information specific to your graduate program. You can also check the University calendar.

    Step 5: Read the Saint Louis University Graduate Catalog

    The Saint Louis University Graduate Catalog has useful information about life at SLU as a graduate student, including campus resources, academic policies and program curricula.

    Step 6: Submit your immunization and health insurance forms

    If you decide to attend SLU, you will need to submit your immunization records and health history. You will also need to submit a health plan enrollment/waiver form.

    Step 7: Visit parking and card services to obtain your SLU ID card

    You’ll use your SLU ID card to access student services and campus buildings such as the library. Make sure to bring a photo ID, along with a copy of your class schedule.

    Step 8: Finalize your financial aid
    If you plan to take out student loans, make sure you’ve filled out your FAFSA for the current year. Contact student financial services with any questions. For questions about assistantships, contact your program.
