Mercer’s Master of Accountancy was instrumental in helping me prepare for and pass the CPA exam. I was able to pass all four sections in a 12-month window, and I don’t think that would have been possible without the background I gained through this program.
The quality of instruction is high, and the curriculum is well designed and has prepared me for the CPA exam. I feel like I have the skills and knowledge I need to be successful as an accountant.
