The move follows the authorization this past May by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) of a specialty credential in forensic accounting: the "certified financial forensic" (CFF). Explicit in the requirements for CPAs to qualify for the CFF is continuing professional education, and GGU is ready to provide the technical knowledge needed by both attorneys and accountants working in the forensic field. All details are available here.

The School of Accounting is the university's newest academic unit, created in 2006 to house accounting programs that have been offered since 1908. A separate school was established to provide the same intense educational and job placement focus that is the hallmark of our nationally recognized sister unit, the School of Taxation.

Students can pursue 2 degree programs, the master of accountancy and the bachelor of science in accounting, as well as both graduate and undergraduate certificates. An MBA with an accounting concentration is also available through the Ageno School of Business. For more information please click here.

Career opportunities in accounting are outstanding, whether placement is sought in public accounting firms, corporate accounting or tax departments, not-for-profit organizations or government. The School of Accounting is committed to helping students seize these opportunities through thorough academic preparation, extensive exposure to the profession, and exceptional job placement support.

All programs offered by the School of Accounting are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
