Program Overview

Program Overview

The College of Professional Studies offers a thirty-six credit Certificate in Accountancy in partnership with the Villanova School of Business. The program consists of twelve courses: six required courses and six elective courses, offered on-campus during the daytime.


Program Description

The Accountancy Certificate allows those with bachelor's degrees in liberal arts or other non-business majors to acquire accounting expertise. It is designed for both individuals wishing to pursue a career in business or government accounting and the self-employed who require a stronger accounting background.


Program Details

When paired with the appropriate undergraduate degree, the accounting credits earned through the Accountancy Certificate Program may assist those seeking to earn the 150 credit hours required in most states to sit for the CPA examination.
