Annual Course Schedule

Prepare for the CPA Exam

This 30-credit undergraduate/post-baccalaureate accounting certificate can be completed in as little as 20 months by enrolling in two courses per term. However, we recommend that students with a full-time work schedule take only one course per semester, at least until the intermediate level is completed. It is also recommended that students not enroll in Intermediate Accounting during the same semester as Cost Accounting because these courses are very demanding. 

Classes are typically scheduled as follows. Please note that SCPS may cancel, modify, or make substitutions as deemed necessary in any given semester, which may affect the length of time to complete the certificate.  

For all cross-listed courses, the first course number refers to the undergraduate accounting certificate and the second course number refers to the post-baccalaureate accounting certificate. For example, in ACCT 2010/3010, undergraduate accounting students should select ACCT 2010 and post-bac students should select ACCT 3010.
