Recent accounting alumni and students told us finding an affordable CPA prep course to take is a challenge. In response the CCOB has entered a relationship with GLEIM CPA Review to present a live review course to prep students for the exam immediately after graduation. The course will start in May of 2018 and go through mid-October, meeting on campus on Saturdays. In addition, future WP CPAs will have immediate access to the essential tools to jump-start their careers and successfully pass the CPA exam – at a deeply discounted cost.

During the past academic year, thirty-two faculty members attended conferences across the country and around the world. Between 2011 and 2016, CCOB faculty published more than 500 peer-review journal articles and other scholarly and professional manuscripts. WP Health Economics professor Rahi Abouk, the lead author of a research study showing how a mandatory screening test reduces infant deaths, was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in December 2017.
