Does this program lead to CPA licensure?

No. Completion of the UCSB PaCE Professional Accounting Certificate Program does not result in CPA licensure. While courses in this program may count toward the educational requirements for individual states' boards of accountancy, completion of this program will not, in itself, fulfill the education, professional experience, or examination requirements to qualify for CPA licensure.
For more information about CPA requirements, students should consult the State Board of Accountancy in the state or jurisdiction where they plan to practice.
