While a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is an accountant, not every accountant is a CPA. CPAs are leaders, strategic thinkers and problem solvers. Proper accounting is integral to any businesses or operation's success and so CPAs are needed everywhere. They can work in a variety of areas, including public accounting, business and industry, technology, forensics, government and education, to name just a few.
Some of the job titles CPAs hold are CEO, CFO, partner, owner, controller, treasurer, financial analyst, auditor, etc. Click here to learn more.
Why accounting at Transylvania University

Graduates also have a strong advantage when applying to graduate schools, thanks to Transylvania's faculty members’ strong ties with top graduate programs across the country, the program’s reputation and graduates’ success in graduate school and with the CPA exam.
