Each course will utilize a combination of live lecture, recorded lectures, task-based
simulations, and simulated exams, and include materials from a major CPA exam review
program. The courses are designed to use analytics to measure student success and
help focus classroom time on more complex or difficult to understand topics. Each
course will incorporate graduate level exploration and analysis of case studies and
practice-based examples to further students’ understanding of the concepts covered.
See Admission to Certificate Programs for admission requirements.
All courses must be completed at Golden Gate University with a cumulative grade-point
average (GPA) of 3.00 (“B” average) or better in courses taken at Golden Gate University
that are applicable to the program’s requirements.
Course prerequisites are indicated in the course description for each course and must
be satisfied prior to enrolling in a given course. Prerequisites may be satisfied
through transfer of equivalent coursework from external institutions or by taking
the courses at GGU.
