What is the EY Career Path Accelerator?

 

At EY, our shared vision is to make the accounting profession more affordable and accessible to students like you. One way we are doing this is by offering the EY Career Path Accelerator — a program designed to provide accredited business and elective courses toward the required 150 hours of education.  This is not a master’s program, but an alternative option to help students obtain the 150 hours of education required for CPA licensure.


The EY Career Path Accelerator offers an affordable and accessible way to earn the credits you need to become CPA eligible without having to incur an additional year of school. This program provides nationally accredited courses focused on job-related learning and skill development and a virtual learning environment with flexibility to complete your classes while managing your other commitments.

Who is eligible

Students who have accepted an EY internship or entry level offer in the US and are actively pursuing an undergraduate degree that provides them with the accounting hours they need to be eligible for CPA licensure. Credits in this program are focused on business or general elective courses so students will be responsible for completing all required accounting and other state-specific credit hours.
