Will I have access to all course materials?
Yes. Although review of asynchronous learning resources and out-of-classroom assignments are not required of CE students, you will have access to the same materials that your MST program classmates have.
Will these classes count toward my Michigan CPA continuing education requirements?
Yes. Walsh’s CE courses give you the opportunity to earn a minimum of 20 CPE credits, dependent on class attendance and satisfactory course completion. At the completion of the class you will be provided with a letter from Walsh containing the course name and number, the number of classroom hours attended, and the date of satisfactory course completion.
What is considered satisfactory course completion for CPE purposes?
At the conclusion of each live synchronous classroom session, there will be a short quiz. In the event you don’t receive a passing score on the quiz, you will be given the opportunity to replace the quiz score by completing an assignment related to that week’s material.
What does the course cost and what if I am not satisfied with the course?
Walsh’s CE courses cost $1,599 per course (books and course materials not included). If you’re not completely satisfied with your CE course for any reason, there will be a one-week drop period with a 100% tuition refund.
Will the classroom/Zoom sessions be recorded?
It is our intent to record the live Zoom sessions. However, please be reminded that CPE credit can only be provided for class attendance at the live, synchronous class sessions.
Have you received any feedback from the tax community about this program?
“As a graduate of the Walsh MST program, I think having an opportunity for a focused, complete educational opportunity that qualifies for CPE is a great option. This is especially true in the fast-paced, virtually connected world we now live in.”
– Terry Pordon, Director of Compliance, Planning, and Forecasting at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
What if I’m interested in pursuing an MST degree after I start the CE program?
After you have completed at least two CE (TAX/ACC) classes you will have the opportunity to apply the CE classes you have already taken into “advanced standing credits” equivalent to one MST class, in effect providing you the ability to complete the MST program with one less class than would otherwise be required.
