This specialization provides a balanced curriculum that reflects the coursework and credit requirements to be eligible to sit for the CPA Examination in most states.Blending accounting theory with its practical application also provides a solid foundation in problem-solving, managing risk, understanding the impact of regulatory compliance, and using accounting practices and tax strategies in a dynamic business environment that will be critical to your career goals.

Most states require individuals to complete 150 semester hours in certain subject areas in order to be eligible to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exam and/or obtain a CPA license. This program was developed to reflect the content requirements of certain states by providing graduate–level courses in topics such as financial accounting, auditing, taxation, and managerial accounting. Individuals seeking to become CPAs should review the educational requirements for their state to ensure the content requirements are being met. For more information, refer to the state's Board of Accountancy or related agency. Walden enrollment advisors can provide guidance on CPA requirements, however, it remains the individual's responsibility to understand and comply with all exam and licensing requirements. Walden makes no representation or guarantee that completion of Walden coursework or programs will permit an individual to sit for the CPA exam or obtain a CPA license. Please speak with an Enrollment Advisor for additional guidance.

You can design a specialization based on your goals and interests. The Self–Designed specialization allows you to investigate industries and technical accounting areas that might not otherwise be readily accessible.
