Catalog 2007-2009

A certificate is a way to add another major to your college bachelor’s degree without having to earn a second bachelor’s degree. A certificate program would mean, if successfully completed, that you would earn the equivalent of a second major. The certificate courses—which are fully accredited—would appear on your Belhaven College transcript. Belhaven College currently offers certificates in Accounting, Ballet, Bible and Ministry, Business Management, Dance, and Family Studies.

Who is eligible to enroll in a Belhaven certificate program? If you have graduated with a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited college or university you may be eligible to enroll. It doesn’t matter whether the degree was earned at Belhaven or somewhere else, as long as the college is properly accredited. It also does not matter what your major was. However, depending on your major and your transcript records, you might need to take some prerequisite courses. For example, if you have never taken Accounting Principles 1 and 2, you would need to take those basic classes first before you can take the upper level courses.

What does the Belhaven accounting certificate offer? A Belhaven College accounting certificate offers opportunity. There is a high demand in the job market for persons with accounting degrees. There are not enough accounting graduates to supply the demand, so the increasing competition to hire them means that salaries are rising. Because of the high demand for accountants, some Belhaven accounting students are able to secure accounting jobs or internships while they are still students and get on-the-job training and experience. A Belhaven accounting certificate can help prepare you for a career in:

Public accounting
Tax accounting
Government accounting
Corporate accounting
Cost/managerial accounting
Not-for-profit accounting
Auditing
Internal auditing

Will the Belhaven accounting certificate prepare me to take the CPA exam? The Belhaven School of Business has designed the accounting certificate so that, when you complete it, you will meet the eligibility requirements of the Mississippi State Board of Public Accountancy (MSBPA) to take the Uniform CPA Exam. Upon completion of the accounting certificate, all MSBPA requirements for taking the exam will have been met. It is your responsibility to submit the appropriate forms, documents, transcripts, and fees to the MSBPA to apply to take the CPA exam. Furthermore, the School of Business strongly recommends that you plan not only to meet the minimum MSBPA requirements to take the exam, but also plan to prepare to pass the exam by taking a commercially offered CPA review course after completing the certificate.
