Bentley partners with Becker to leverage Becker’s industry-leading CPA exam preparation materials:
- If you have access to Becker materials through your current or future employer please follow firm processes to get access. This may take a few days so do not wait until the term begins.
- If you need purchase Becker materials you will be given instructions to purchase materials upon registration.
Registration is limited to two exam sections per Summer Session I & II.
This is an asynchronous course. Students will submit assigned work at regular intervals. The instructor will require regular check-ins to make sure progress is being made on the course materials at a rate that will allow successful completion. These classes are pass/fail, which is sufficient for CPA licensure purposes. Completing 75% of assigned lectures, and achieving 75% correct on homework and simulation questions is required to pass the course.
These are asynchronous courses and cannot satisfy student attendance requirements for international student visas.
The cost of each 3-credit course is $1,050 and payable in advance. If the student needs access to the required Becker CPA review materials then the cost is payable directly by the student to Becker and is an additional $510 per section.
The courses will NOT count toward degree completion but will count towards your 150 credit hours and appear on your transcript. Assume your state will NOT count these as minimum required accounting credits.
The courses can be taken before or after graduation but it is recommended they are completed as close to taking the exam as possible.
This will vary by part and by student. Generally, it takes 60-80 hours to complete the materials for each part of the exam. However, some students will watch portions of lectures more than once or take longer to complete homework and practice exams.
