4 reasons undergraduate accounting programs should add CPA exam review
Few colleges make it a curricular priority to actually include the review and test preparation process needed to pass examination and obtain licensure as a CPA.
In addition, being active in a local chapter of a national professional association can help develop contacts that can open doors later. Even career mentoring in niche areas can open dialogue with prospective employers about areas of personal growth and possible company expansion.
As schools compete for tuition dollars, and students are increasingly savvy about educational investments, there are many benefits to implementing proven and effective CPA review courses into any undergraduate or graduate accounting program. While in school, students are already immersed in the curriculum needed to complete their degree and intellectually invested in achieving their academic goals.
With increased competition for jobs after college, including the CPA test prep course as part of the curriculum could seamlessly and organically prepare more well-rounded students demonstrating the aptitude needed to secure the competitive edge in this growing and vibrant field.
