Students can develop a skilled specialization in one of our four certificate tracks: Assurance/Financial Reporting, Advanced Internal Audit, Taxation and IT Systems Risk Management. The remaining hours provide an opportunity to acquire a strong foundation in other business areas or pursue an area of particular student interest or career aspiration.

The program accommodates working professionals by offering a flexible class schedule and courses that provide students with the right balance of technical knowledge and critical thinking capabilities sought by today’s employers. Students learn to solve complex business problems, recognize dysfunctional accounting situations, and respond appropriately to ethical and regulatory dilemmas; while engaging in accounting research and gaining first-hand experience communicating their findings. Emphasis is placed on the strong background needed to successfully complete the Texas Uniform CPA exam.
