Overview
The Undergraduate Certificate in Accounting is awarded by the Division of Continuing and International Education and the Department of Accounting. It is designed for those who hold at least an undergraduate degree (preferably in business) from an accredited college or university, and whose present interest or occupation is accounting. The program requires students to take the same 24 credit hours of accounting courses (as listed below) required for the undergraduate major in Accounting. To sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination in Florida, students must have completed 120 credit hours, including 24 credit hours of accounting (above the elementary level) and 24 credit hours of business courses, including a minimum of six credit hours of business law. There are additional educational requirements to become licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in Florida. Students may wish to consider either the Graduate Certificate in Accounting or the Graduate Certificate in Taxation (offered by the School of Business) to meet those additional education requirements.
