Accounting
Programs
In recent years, accounting has undergone major
change. For aspiring CFOs, the CPA remains the gold
standard credential. For mid-career financial managers
and accountants, the CMA is a great alternative.
We offer two state-of-the-art programs to help
get you there:
• Certificate in Accounting (CPA Foundation)
• Accounting core for CPA candidates
Our introductory courses qualify for credit toward
accounting degrees and CPA continuing education units.
CPA candidates can also fulfill 100 percent of their
general business education requirements through our
Business Administration, Human Resources, Project
Management and Marketing programs.
