UNIVERSITY GRADUATE PROGRAM – 30 CREDITS
The CPA Professional Education Program (PEP) is made up of a series of courses focusing primarily on enhancing CPA candidates’ ability to apply the professional knowledge, values, ethics and attitudes expected of CPAs in a professional context. The PEP places great importance on the integration of competencies, as well as on the acquisition of more in-depth knowledge than that covered in the academic prerequisites.
