Geneva’s program offers students the opportunity to define their accounting track towards:

  • public (150 total credit hours)
  • private accounting (120 credit hours)

Both tracks offer students instruction from CPA faculty and the potential for internships in their related areas of interest. The public track is designed to meet the requirements of the State Board of Accountancy to sit for the CPA examination.

“We learned about how Christian principles apply to business, and we are being trained how to handle real-world situations with a Christian worldview. People in business often get a bad reputation regarding their character, but learning about business in this way allows for us to be a light in this field. We are learning that business is good, and there is a biblical way to approach it.” - Daniela, Accounting graduate
