The Accounting Department at BMCC offers a 30-credit non-degree certificate in accounting (ACP) that will allow students to earn accounting credits on an accelerated basis. This certificate program is designed for students who have earned baccalaureate degrees in disciplines other than accounting and would like to transition to a career in accounting without having to bear the cost of enrolling in a graduate program. Depending upon the student’s undergraduate degree/discipline, the ACP can be completed in three semesters. The credits earned in this program can be applied toward the required accounting courses needed for the Uniform CPA Exam.* In addition, depending upon the student’s undergraduate discipline/ degree, these credits can be applied toward the 150-credit rule. Please note, an accredited course in Auditing is required to sit for the CPA Exam and must be taken at a 4-year-institution.
