Interested in Being a CPA?

Since May 2000, students must have a total of 225 quarter credits of education in order to satisfy the education requirements of a CPA license.  This is equivalent to a 5th year of college.  It is not just accounting classes that are important, but a broader education across a wide range of knowledge, skills, and abilities.  One way to obtain the extra credits is through our MPAC degree program.  The Master of Professional Accounting degree was designed to meet the broadening educational needs of the accounting community, and allow students to concentrate within three tracks: Financial Reporting and Assurance Services, E-commerce and Information Systems, and Corporate Financial Management.
