EY helps clients create long-term value for all stakeholders. Enabled by data and technology, our services and solutions provide trust through assurance and help clients transform, grow and operate.
At EY, our purpose is building a better working world. The insights and services we provide help to create long-term value for clients, people and society, and to build trust in the capital markets.
At EY, our shared vision is to make the accounting profession more affordable and accessible to students like you. One way we are doing this is by offering the EY Career Path Accelerator — a program designed to provide accredited business and elective courses toward the required 150 hours of education. This is not a master’s program, but an alternative option to help students obtain the 150 hours of education required for CPA licensure.
EY Career Path Accelerator is an affordable, skills-focused way to accelerate your career path — job-related learning and skill development, the ability to enter the workforce CPA-eligible after your undergraduate degree, accredited coursework you can “take with you.”
Who is eligible?
Students who have accepted an EY internship offer and are actively pursuing an undergraduate degree that provides them the accounting hours they need to be eligible for CPA licensure. Interns are responsible for all accounting and state-specific credit hours prior to the start.
The EY Career Path Accelerator is about hands-on learning, real-world challenges and job-relevant skills to be day-one ready for full-time employment.
