What are the MAcc Language Requirements?
The language of instruction at Carleton is English. For admission into Carleton’s graduate programs, you will need to demonstrate that your knowledge and use of English are strong enough for graduate studies at an English-language university.
If your first language is not English, you can prove your language proficiency by:
- presenting one of the official Language Proficiency (ESL) test score as defined in the table found here;
- showing that you have completed ESLA 1900 or ESLA 1905 at Carleton University with a final grade of B- or higher; or
- present official certification (transcripts) that you have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree within the past three years in a university in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom or any country in which the primary language is English, where the language of instruction in the relevant educational institution was English, and the language of instruction in their most recently completed undergraduate or graduate degree was English.
Please note that the MAcc program requires a number of courses to be completed in Canada in order to be eligible for the program. As these courses are likely to be completed in English, you may be exempt from providing proof of language proficiency.
