The combination of coursework with the option of an internship provides students with a strong theoretical foundation in accounting as well as an understanding of the practical applications of the discipline. The program also emphasizes the development of communication, interpersonal, and analytical problem solving skills through the use of case studies, team and individual projects, and computers for accounting and auditing applications. Upon the completion of the program and 150 semester credit hours, students will be considered as having met the educational requirement for sitting for the CPA exam in the State of Ohio.
