This degree completion, general studies program in Accounting, provides students with a solid foundation in accounting practices and may be applied towards fulfilling much of the educational requirements needed to sit for the CPA exam. For those with serious goals of becoming a licensed CPA, our unique program can accelerate your progress.  With successful completion of undergraduate prerequisite coursework, students can fast track into our graduate program with waivers for up to two courses in the Master of Accountancy program. Completion of AC 310 and AC 311 with at least a “B” waives the requirement to take the two equivalent graduate accounting courses (AC500 and AC510; 6 semester-hour credits), thus providing a Fast Track into the Master’s degree. Also, note that AC 312: Federal Income Tax, or its equivalent, is a pre-requisite for entry into the Master of Accountancy Program.
