The need for accountants with CPA licenses is well known. Corporations and individuals alike are looking for the shortest route to satisfy the requirements to sit for the CPA exam. The Saint Leo Graduate Certificate in Accounting will help graduates to: meet the requirement to sit for the CPA examination in those states where 150 hours is still required, without having to complete a master's degree in accounting; satisfy the need for those who have already passed the CPA examination and require 150 hours to become licensed; meet the required 18 graduate credit hours needed to be able to teach accounting courses at the undergraduate level, provided they already possess a graduate degree; gain employment, as many employers in the accounting profession prefer graduates who are CPA eligible; gain knowledge and skills in the accounting areas that are generally not covered at the undergraduate level; and study at their own convenience, as these courses will be offered online.
