The Associate in Arts in Accounting program prepares an accounting student for entry-level positions in business.

Courses earned from Strayer University do not automatically qualify the holder to participate in professional licensing examinations to practice certain professions in any state. All students interested in practicing a regulated accounting profession requiring licensure from a state regulatory agency, and especially those students in Florida, should contact the appropriate state regulatory agency in the field of their interest. A listing of contact information for the most common accounting-related licensing boards is available on the Strayer University website at: https://icampus.strayer.edu

Licensing information is also available from the following web sites: American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, www.cpa-exam.org , National Association of State Boards of Accountancy, www.nasba.org , Institute of Internal Auditors, www.theiia.org, Institute of Management Accountants, www.imanet.org , Accreditation Council for Accountancy and Taxation, www.acatcredentials.org .
