        “Our program is designed to allow students time to take the Becker CPA Review Course and CPA Exam in the spring while enrolled in only six graduate credit hours of coursework,” said Amy Murphy, MAcc Program Director. “Our continued success is a function of having outstanding students enrolled in the program, supportive faculty who provide our students with an excellent accounting education, and wonderful employers who see the importance of funding Becker for their new hires.
