In the summer of 2020, Hunter offered, for the first time ever, an Accounting “Boot Camp” for Hunter prospective MS in Accounting students.
This summer program was a way for students lacking the pre-requisite accounting course work to become prepared for accounting courses (and to meet the eligibility requirements for the Certified Public Account exam); it was designed specifically for students with non-accounting backgrounds. Hunter streamlined four accounting courses into two accounting courses.
Hunter Student Dominique Cachia described her experience:
“I highly recommend the accounting bootcamp for anyone who is trying to make a career change into public accounting. During the summer, I was able to take all the prerequisites for classes that employers were looking for, such as tax and audit. Thanks to this program, I was able to get a job at KPMG. The professors really care about their students, and several professors helped me prepare for interviews and helped me learn the skills recruiters were looking for.”
