Busse EPIC Accounting (CPA)
Be challenged. Be on the cutting edge. Be in demand.
Accounting is the language of business and accountants are always in demand. Accounting is in the top ten lists of college majors for job opportunities and high starting salaries.
As a Busse EPIC (Entrepreneurial Program with Intergrated Cooperatives) CPA student, you will gain two years of paid work experience through a series of four to six month co-op rotations in each of the key functional accounting and finance areas of a successful CPA firm or business.
The unique combination of co-op experience and academic coursework gives you the required 150 hours of college credit to qualify for the CPA exam. You will graduate in only four years.
Sound incredible? That's why we call it E.P.I.C.
In addition to gaining extensive paid work experience, you will also receive:
- Academic credit for your co-op rotations
- Mentoring by experienced business professionals
- Travel opportunities to study international business
- Extensive connections with industry-leading companies
- Higher starting salary upon graduation
E.P.I.C. experience + rigorous academic preparation = a relevant accounting education. Put your education into practice.
