As the demand for accountants continues to rise around the country, CPA job candidates hold a competitive advantage over candidates who are not CPAs. At Rasmussen College, our five-year Public Accounting Bachelor's degree allows you to meet the education requirements that are prerequisites for qualifying to take the CPA licensure exam.*
To meet CPA licensure education requirements, many students enroll in Master's programs—typically for at least two years. Our unique degree streamlines the process to meeting your CPA licensure education requirements, and helping you avoid extra class time by meeting the CPA licensure exam requirements faster. Plus, our CPA exam preparation course covers auditing and taxation, managerial and cost accounting, and other critical skills.
Our degree also gives you the skills you need to become an effective CPA in the public, private, or government sector, including:
- Effective communication skills
