Course work in the program offers the opportunity to learn accounting theory and practice, and to supplement that knowledge with courses in disciplines of your choosing, including tax, decision-making, cost management, financial statements and reporting and more.
In addition to being an excellent stand-alone credential, this certificate serves as a foundation for the Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program. With admission to the MAcc program, students may apply the graduate level courses in the certificate to this 30-credit master's degree.
