Graduate Certificate in Internal Audit
The Graduate Certificate in Internal Audit (GCIA) is a 12 credit hour program designed to (1) prepare students for a lucrative career in internal audit and (2) provide the academic foundation to successfully pass the Certified Internal Audit exam.
The demand for internal auditors is high across all business disciplines, particulary in management, operations, strategy and systems. The GCIA is a specialized program aimed to equip students with the education required to obtain a position in corporate internal auditing. The GCIA is an excellent launching pad for undergraduate accounting students who do not plan to pursue the CPA or work in public accounting.
Kelley accounting students may take up to 6 credit hours of graduate-level courses while pursuing their undergraduate degree. The remaining courses will be completed as a graduate student. The certificate hours will transfer into the Master of Science in Accounting or the Master of Science in Taxation.
To complete the GCIA, select 12 credit hours from the following:
Required course:
