COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- In response to the significant shortage of
accountants and to address the 150-credit requirement for CPA
licensure, Franklin University proudly
announces a strategic partnership with Miles CPA Review. This
collaboration introduces a pioneering educational initiative poised
to revolutionize access to CPA licensure, combining Franklin University's century-long tradition of
educational excellence with the cutting-edge training capabilities
of Miles CPA Review.
The newly launched program offers 30 credits at the highly
competitive rate of $99 per credit
hour, compared to typical costs ranging from $500 to $1000 per
credit hour. Specifically designed for U.S. undergraduates who
require these additional credits to fulfill the 150-credit
requirement for CPA licensure, this initiative significantly lowers
the financial barriers often associated with advancing in the
accounting profession. Additionally, the program broadens the
pathway for individuals aiming to transition into accounting
careers. All participants will receive full access to extensive CPA
review resources and study materials, ensuring they are thoroughly
prepared for the CPA exam. This CPA Prep access is included with
the microcredential at no additional charge.
"Through our strategic partnership with Miles CPA Review, we're
not merely meeting the academic requirements of our students; we're
significantly boosting their career prospects," stated Dr.
Godfrey Mendes, Senior Vice
President, Franklin University. "By
infusing practical, industry-relevant content into our curriculum,
we're arming our graduates with the sophisticated skills necessary
to thrive in today's dynamic accounting field."
Varun Jain, CEO of Miles, shared,
"By drastically reducing the costs associated with CPA preparation
to nearly 80% below traditional programs, this partnership not only
makes becoming a CPA more attainable but also streamlines the
entire learning and preparation process. Our aligned courses and
free review materials ensure that candidates are not just prepared
but are set up for success."
The new microcredential will be the latest addition to
Franklin University's Marketplace
catalog of in-demand subject areas that provide learners with the
opportunity to match their ability levels and career paths with
specific courses and credential pathways. For further details about
