Accounting Certification Training - PreMAcc - Executive Education

PreMAcc


"The PreMacc program is an excellent opportunity for those without an undergraduate accounting degree to follow an accounting career path. Not only do you get to learn the basics you will need to succeed in the MAcc program, but it also puts you at an advantage of having that information freshly stored when the regular quarter starts. Additionally, it's a great introduction to actual CPA test material."
Elana Amit - 2005 PreMAcc Student

"Going through the PreMAcc program was really a rewarding experience for me. It not only provided me intensive training in comprehensive accounting knowledge, but also prepared me for the heavier class load I am currently taking in the first quarter of of MAcc degree program. I personally believe that this program is essential to those who do not have a background in accounting and it increases the opportunities to succeed in the MAcc program."
Yu Duan - 2005 PreMAcc student

After deciding to change careers and depart from the military, I enrolled in the PreMAcc Seminar course to fulfill the requirements for admission into the MAcc program. This course quickly brought me up to speed in some of the areas that I did not have a strong background and I was able to hit the ground running when classes started so that I could graduate on time with all of my peers
