Prepare for CPA & CMA Exams

Certified Public Accountant Exam
Taylor University is one of few schools in the country that dedicates courses to preparing business students for the CPA exam. By taking a course during your last semester, you’ll be ready to take the exam immediately after graduation. You’ll be among the first of newly-hired CPA-firm employees to pass the exam. Taylor University’s Accounting graduates have often been ranked nationally in the annual report on average first-time passing rates for sections of the CPA exam.
Certified Management Accountant Exam
Taylor provides optional educational tracks that prepare students to take the Certified Management Accountant (CMA) exam before graduation. The CMA credential is the global benchmark for managerial accounting.
