About:

The UMass Dartmouth undergraduate Certificate in Accounting is a 30 credit, part-time certificate program for students who have already earned bachelor's degrees in a field other than accounting.

If you have a business degree:

• The accounting certificate program provides an opportunity to acquire the credentials for a career in accounting through advanced courses in the discipline.
• Once you complete this track, you will qualify to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam in Massachusetts as well as in many other states. You can use the 30 credits in the accounting certificate program—in conjunction with 120 credits awarded in the standard undergraduate degree program—to satisfy the 150-hour credit CPA requirement.
• The accounting certificate program also prepares you to take the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam.

If you have a non-business degree:

• The accounting certificate program provides an intensive introduction to the accounting discipline.
• If your professional goals include management responsibilities, you will find the accounting certificate particularly helpful for career development. Engineers as well as professionals in the healthcare and legal fields have chosen the accounting certificate as a way to enhance their managerial expertise.
• If your goal is to sit for the CPA, you can complete this certificate and then take several additional business courses to meet the CPA requirements.
