CPA Track: Pathways & Possibilities Webinar

We are amazed by how students and educators have adapted to online learning platforms so smoothly! We miss visiting your classrooms and wanted to provide you with a resource that you can share with your students to inspire them to consider a career in accounting.

During this 30-minute webinar, students will learn about life as a CPA, including information on various career opportunities, earning potential, skills necessary to succeed, the impact of emerging technologies on the profession and more! Additionally, we have provided information on offerings from the MSCPA to help students achieve their career goals.

MSCPA Summer Programs Update – ACE Leadership Program Cancelled

Due to the ongoing pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our summer 2020 Accounting Careers Exploratory Leadership Programs that were scheduled to take place at Fisher College and Suffolk University in late July and early August. We are sorry to cancel, but the health and safety of our students and members is our top priority.

We will be putting together a virtual offering for students interested in learning more about exciting careers in accounting. If you have any students interested, please contact Jess Yu at jyu@mscpaonline.org. Additionally, if you have any students eligible for the program next summer (a rising high school sophomore, junior, senior or college freshman during summer 2021) and would like to be added to receive information regarding registration for the 2021 program, please contact us directly.

*Please note: A decision has not yet been made regarding the UMass Amherst Careers in Accounting & Management Professions (C.A.M.P.) program. We will share updates as we receive them.
