BCPA provides everything you need if you have an interest in accounting, it will set you on the correct path for both your academic, and professional career. The program has some of the best professors in the industry and they all genuinely care about their students’ understanding of the material, properly preparing them to pass the CPA exam. I reached out to my professors many times over the course of the program to talk about my career path and my personal goals. They are always willing to help! One of my favorite things about the program, and one of the primary reasons I participated in BCPA, is that there are ample opportunities to meet with and learn from current industry professionals – including partners from the Big 4, fellow BCPA alumni who are now in the industry, and recruiters from the major firms. You will be able to ask questions and begin networking well before the recruiting season begins. Please email me if you have any questions or just want some insight as to what the program is like!

The BCPA program provides abundant resources, services, and opportunities to help you achieve professional and academic success. Through their comprehensive coursework, you can develop the necessary understanding to excel in your professional career and CPA exams. You are surrounded by like-minded peers. You not only meet study partners but potential co-workers! Exclusive networking events give you early access to recruiters and accounting professionals from top national accounting firms; those opportunities give you the time and space to ask questions and find the firm that best suits you. A unique benefit about the BCPA program is that the courses are offered in the evening, therefore allowing you to pursue other activities in the morning during your summertime. My favorite part of the program is the people; the professors are inspiring individuals who want to see you succeed both professionally and academically. The program staff is also there to support you as you pursue your goals during and after your time with the BCPA program. BCPA is more than just a summer program, it has helped shape who I am becoming as a professional and scholar.
