STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 Graduates of Tarleton\u2019s Master of Accounting and BBA accounting programs again passed the state CPA exam at a higher rate than most other Texas programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state boasts about 40 programs whose graduates regularly average three or more sections of the exam each month, including Texas A&M College Station and five more that are much larger than the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a CPA pass rate of 50 percent, Tarleton\u2019s MAcc program ranks in the Top 10 and ahead of a number of more exclusive and expensive programs. Tarleton graduates\u2019 performance matches that of University of North Texas\u2019 Denton campus and UNT Dallas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOutstanding performance of our graduates, over many years, reflects the hard work our students demonstrate in classes,\u201d said Dr. James Goodpasture, Director of Tarleton\u2019s Master of Accounting program, noting the 57 percent pass rates on the BEC and REG sections of the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have some fine students who go on to become excellent professional accountants \u2014 and that goes for our undergraduates and our graduate students who contribute to these strong pass rates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Derrill Watson, Department of Accounting, Finance and Economics Chair, said growing the program has been a team effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur faculty do outstanding work,\u201d he said. \u201cThey maintain high standards and care about student performance, many of them going out of their way to help individual struggling students succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
