Overview

Success preparing graduates for national case competitions, the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam, and jobs with the “Big 4” accounting firms, as well as many regional and local firms, brings national recognition to the Accountancy program from Providence College, which is a rigorous major that prepares students for a demanding profession. The curriculum covers all of the major topics covered on the CPA exam, which many students take and pass after graduation. While the CPA exam requires 150 credits, PC offers pathways to complete that requirement as an undergraduate student or by pursuing a graduate program.
