Why it’s worth exploring
For students aiming to become Chartered Professional Accountants, the GDPA program offers a direct pathway to meeting CPA academic requirements. This is particularly valuable for students whose undergraduate degrees may not have covered all necessary CPA prerequisite courses. The program is specifically structured to prepare graduates for the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP) and can significantly accelerate your accounting career timeline.
Going in prepared
Attend one of the GDPA information sessions to understand the specific admission requirements and program structure. Prepare questions about how the program aligns with your current academic background and CPA goals. Review your undergraduate transcript beforehand to identify which CPA prerequisites you may already have completed, so you can ask informed questions about your individual pathway through the program.
