Accelerated Accounting Certificate (AAC)
The Accelerated Accounting Certificate covers the core accounting functions (financial, taxation, assurance) required at all organizations; public, private, and not-for-profit.
The certificate is designed for individuals who have completed or are pursuing undergraduate degrees outside of accounting. For individuals with a business-related degree, this certificate can be used to obtain the necessary accounting credit hours for Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensure. Contact Byron Pike for assistance in determining if the AAC or the Master of Accounting (MAcc) is a better pathway for CPA eligibility.
*Students pursuing the Pre-MAcc pathway and the Master of Accounting program find application information here.
