The Doermer School of Business, through the Department of Accounting, offers two certificates in Accounting – Accounting Skills for Professionals and Pathway to CPA. Typically, students who pursue these certificates are seeking an academic program of recognized quality that will help them prepare for careers in accounting. In combination with a bachelor’s degree earned at an appropriately accredited institution, the Accounting Skills for Professionals prepares candidates for accounting positions in businesses and agencies. The second, stackable certificate – Pathway to CPA – meets the current minimum accounting educational requirements to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accounting Examination in Indiana if students select the correct electives. Additional non-accounting business credits may be required.

Admission:

Admission to the certificate program is limited to holders of bachelor’s degrees awarded by institutions that were accredited at the baccalaureate level by the Higher Learning Commission (or comparable regional association) at the time the degree was granted.

Department of Workforce Development (DWD) funding:  Individuals who qualify for WIOA education and training funds through their local WorkOne office may receive tuition and supply fee financial assistance for this program.

Tuition for this certificate is charged at the Undergraduate level, so please see the PFW Undergraduate Catalog for course and other requirements for this certificate.
