Introduction:
Certificate in the Study of Public Accountancy

This certificate program is for SF State matriculated business students as well as students pursuing or possessing an undergraduate degree in business related disciplines from other accredited institutions who are interested in the field of public accounting. Students in this program will find that it will assist them in preparation to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). Completion of this certification itself does not represent CPA certification.

The certificate program is offered by the Accounting Department and reflects what the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants regards as the common body of knowledge for CPAs. The content of the program will also enhance accounting students' formal business education.
