The program learning outcomes and proposed curriculum align with the CPA Evolution Model Curriculum developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) which took effect in January 2024. The curriculum is relevant and forward looking to enhance success and marketability in the accounting profession.
