On Campus Option - Course Materials

Students will have access to CPAexcel's course materials and learning tools with the most up-to-date study text, video lectures, professor mentoring, textbooks and more:

Exceptionally high quality academic content centered on passing the CPA Exam

The content of all CPAexcel courses is authored and presented by a top team of CPA Exam review course professors in the country. In addition, CPAexcel's content includes over 5,000 past CPA Exam questions and over 3,000 electronic flashcards. All content for each section of the CPA Exam is organized into "Bite-Sized LessonsSM" that typically can be mastered in a short time period, e.g. a lunch break.

State-of-the-art learning and course management software

CPAexcel enables students to learn about 25% more per study hour due to the unique architecture of its software. Each "bite-sized lesson" provides one-click access to any learning tool, e.g. Video Lectures, Study Text, Past Exam Questions and more. Its Efficient Learning System™ also collects comprehensive metrics during the study process to provide instant feedback to the student and on-demand feedback to instructors.

Instructors may conduct CPA Exam review courses using CPAexcel's content "as is". Instructors may also create new courses unrelated to CPA Exam preparation by selecting lessons from among the 500+ included "Bite-Sized LessonsSM", as well as adding their own digital content. CPAexcel's platform also includes other features necessary to conduct courses, e.g. enroll students, mentor students, conduct exams, automatic grading, and access to detailed metrics on student performance via electronic grade books.

Unmatched flexibility in course scheduling and delivery options

CPAexcel's software enables each student to study on a schedule personalized to her or him, to invite one or more other students to study on the same schedule, and create a Private Study Group with online discussions among its members. These features also enable course managers to create student sub-groups to fit the needs or desires of their student body. For example, student sub-groups could be created for an alumni class, for a group of current students, and for a group of staff members at a local CPA firm.

The above features would facilitate providing a blended learning CPA review course in which different affinity groups study online separately from each other but join together weekly on campus to review problems that have given group members a lot of difficulty.

Proven record of student success on the CPA Exam

The effectiveness of CPAexcel's content and learning tools is demonstrated by the record of student success on the CPA Exam. Since 2004, 87% of the students who completed a CPAexcel course passed the CPA Exam. According to the AICPA, the national average pass rate for the same period was 46%. Details
