In this panel discussion, accounting master’s program leaders and department heads will discuss the changing landscape of accounting education in light of the impending 120+2 “experience pathway” to CPA licensure. The webinar will cover the following issues:
- Should the undergraduate accounting curriculum change to educate students for the CPA Exam in 120 hours?
- What is the value proposition of accounting master’s programs when only 120 hours are required for CPA licensure?
- What new audiences should we target to replace lost enrollment from traditional accounting master’s programs?
- What do the vast differentials in specialty discipline pass rates mean when advising students for CPA Exam success?
