CPA Exam

Through this program, those who have taken the accounting and related courses required for an undergraduate accounting degree can earn the additional 30 semester hours of education necessary to become a CPA (see the Frequently Asked Questions section for more information about these requirements).

Don’t have an undergraduate accounting degree but want to obtain an MST or  become a CPA?  Miami’s Accounting Summer Intensive Program’s been designed for you!

Accounting Summer Intensive Program - Begins in July

Those who hold an undergraduate degree (preferably in business) in a field other than accounting can also qualify for the MST program by first completing the School’s unique Accounting Summer Intensive Program, which begins in early July. Upon completion of the Summer Intensive, these students take one additional tax course offered in a 10-day intersission format so they can begin the MST program in August to earn the additional semester hours needed for the CPA exam.
