Graduate Certificate in Accounting

The Graduate Certificate in Accounting (GCA) is a 12 credit hour program designed to (1) provide additional graduate-level coursework towards the requirements for CPA licensure and (2) provide licenced CPAs 180 hours of continuing education credit.

The GCA offers a broad-based curriculum that provides the academic foundation to successfully pass the CPA exam.  For licensed CPAs, the GCA provides additional coursework to take the next steps in their careers as well as CPE credit to maintain their licenses in Indiana.

Kelley accounting students can take up to 6 credit hours of graduate-level courses while completing their undergraduate degree.  The remaining courses will be completed as a graduate student.  The certificate hours will transfer to the Master of Science in Accounting or the Master of Science in Taxation.
