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.
