Graduate Certificate in Accounting

The Suffolk Graduate Certificate in Accounting (GCA) is a five-course program that covers financial accounting, auditing, cost accounting, and taxation. The GCA coursework emphasizes practical knowledge of key accounting principles and lays the groundwork for CPA or CMA exam preparation.

As a part-time student, you can complete the GCA in as few as nine months. If you apply to the MS in Accounting (MSA) degree program, or to another graduate business degree, you may be able to apply your GCA courses to reduce the time it will take to complete the degree.
