Graduates of Berkeley College accounting programs do not automatically become Certified Public Accountants (CPA), and such programs are not specifically intended to prepare graduates for the CPA examination. CPA requirements vary by jurisdiction. Generally, to be licensed as a CPA an applicant must complete a combination of specified educational and/or experience requirements, demonstrate good moral character (which may include an absence of criminal convictions), and pass a CPA examination. Applicants for whom such requirements may be matters of concern are strongly advised to contact an Admissions counselor prior to enrolling in an accounting program.
