Department Information
We help our students learn foundation knowledge and skills in accounting and business that will aid them in private, government, or non-profit careers or prepare them for additional education for public accounting careers.
The Department of Accounting will allow non-matriculated or non-degree-seeking students to enroll in undergraduate-level accounting courses on a space-available basis. Students seeking enrollment as a non-degree-seeking student can email CBAdvising@cwu.edu with the courses they wish to take and copies of their unofficial transcripts. The request will be reviewed and if approved, the student will be enrolled in the course on a space-available basis.
Central accounting students who are up to 180 days prior to obtaining a degree and at least 225 quarter credits are eligible to sit for the Uniform Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination. Washington law requires individuals wishing to sit for the CPA examination to have completed a minimum of 36 quarter credits of study in accounting and a minimum of 36 quarter credits in related business courses. (See WAC 4-30-060 for educational requirements). Registration for the examination is made through the State Board of Accountancy, Olympia, Washington https://acb.wa.gov/.
Students seeking the CPA license are encouraged to check annually with the State Board as the rules and procedures may change.
