The BBA component of the program fulfills the 150-credit-hour requirement for public accounting and New York State CPA licensure, so you will be fully prepared to take the CPA exam upon graduation.

"When I first came to Pace, I applied as a finance major, then I switched to accounting, so this was a great way to join both my interests. I first got involved with KPMG by doing a leadership program with them, and that led to a second internship where I did both audit and advisory work. It was a really good experience for me and they actually extended an offer for full-time employment." —Kristhy Jimenez ’14, Director, Financial Due Diligence, KPMG
