UNIBusiness gives students the resources, challenges, and encouragement they need to be successful. You need look no further than our accounting students as proof. Students who study accounting at UNIBusiness know they have a much better chance at becoming a CPA a year after graduation than students who graduate from other schools. Our accounting students' CPA exam pass rate is consistently among the highest in the nation -- six times the national average in 2010.
The CPA exam is notoriously difficult, but in becoming a CPA, recent graduates earn prestige, respect, a larger salary and more career opportunities than their accounting-degree peers without a CPA designation. Our history of student success doesn't stop at accounting. Below are more examples of how students benefit from our expectations for hard work and our high classroom standards
- Finance students who take our CFA review program pass the CFA Level 1 exam at a rate double the international average.
