The Certificate in Accountancy Program (CAP)
Every business needs an accountant. The University of Houston's CAP program can lead to a career with staying power.
Do you have a passion for numbers? Are you organized and detail-oriented with a high degree of integrity? Do you want a job that offers stimulating and challenging work that is constantly evolving?
Accounting may be the answer for you.
The Certificate in Accountancy Program (CAP) is a non-degree seeking, post baccalaureate program. CAP is flexible, offering synchronous online courses in the evening and occasionally on weekends to accommodate working students. Equally, CAP offers a variety of courses to help you meet your educational and career goals by:
- Fulfilling the accounting educational requirements necessary to sit for the Uniform CPA Exam in the state of Texas
- Fulfilling the accounting prerequisite coursework required for the Master of Science in Accountancy (MSACCY) Program at the University of Houston
- Learning the data analytics skills employers are seeking
- Offering personal enrichment to students changing their careers to accounting
While completing the needed courses, students have an opportunity to earn one of the available certificates: in Accounting or Internal Audit.
Most of our courses are taught in a synchronous online mode of instruction, but we also offer some courses using in-person, hybrid, and asynchronous online modes of instruction. There are synchronous online offerings for all MSACCY prerequisite courses.
