The 15-unit Undergraduate Certificate in Accounting is designed for students who do
not have an undergraduate accounting degree and is intended to enhance their accounting
knowledge and expand their career opportunities. In addition, it may fulfill the education
requirements to sit for the CPA or Certified Management Accountant (CMA) examinations.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Please note that some courses taken as part of certificate programs will have prerequisites.
These prerequisites must be satisfied (through transfer of equivalent coursework or
through taking the courses at Golden Gate) before the certificate courses can be completed.
Students must complete all 15 units of the program at Golden Gate University and earn
a minimum GPA of 2.0 “C” or better. However, students intending to apply to the Master
of Science in Accounting Data & Analytics (MSADA) program must earn a grade of “B”
or better in each of these courses, since they comprise the MSADA program’s foundation
requirement.
